Differences Between Basic and Clinical Disciplines

another three to five years or more of residency training—again, typically with meager opportunities or exposure to clinical research.
Just this weekend I spoke to a young woman who is completing her endocrinology fellowship. I asked her what she was planning to do next. She responded that much to her surprise she planned to pursue a career in clinical research. She said, "Through all my years of medical school and residency, no one ever mentioned or spoke of the possibility of a research career. I was never exposed to it, never thought of it. Perhaps if I did, I would have planned better and done things somewhat differently."
So the question is, is her experience typical? Do these perceived differences affect women differentially? How early can clinical societies reach trainees? What can clinical societies do to foster women's interest in clinical research earlier? Can what appear to be structural problems be addressed?
Before going on, let me introduce our distinguished panel. Dr. Sue Shafer is deputy director, Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research, and former deputy director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Her current interests include biomedical research policy, biomedical ethics, the responsible conduct of research, and enhancing the careers in science of women and minorities.
Dr. Herbert Pardes is president and chief executive officer of New York Presbyterian Hospital and its health care system. Dr. Pardes served as U.S. assistant surgeon general and director of the National Institutes of Mental Health during the Carter and Reagan administrations, and has served as vice president for health sciences at Columbia University and dean of the faculty of medicine of Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Pardes has overseen major changes in the education of physicians and enhanced clinical and basic science research. He also has assumed a national role as an advocate for education, health care reimbursement reform, and support of biomedical research.
Finally, but certainly not least, Dr. Jeanne Sinkford is professor and dean emeritus of the Howard University College of Dentistry. Dr. Sinkford has the distinction of being the first woman to serve as chair of a major department in a school of dentistry and was the first African American woman dentist inducted into the USA section of the International College of Dentists. Since 1991, she has been director of the Office of Women and Minority Affairs of the American Association of Dental Schools.
I'm going to ask our panel to consider the differences between basic and clinical research pathways, and their ramifications. There is a difference between how long the pathways take, and how direct the pathways are. There's also a difference in community. Those in graduate training are part of a community of researchers. When those in M.D. training suddenly decide to go into research, they don't have that history of collaboration or community to bring with them. And then there are differences in mentorship and also perhaps in financial encumbrances. So I would like to start by asking our panel to reflect on some of these
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
issues and what they think are the most critical issues differentiating basic and clinical research pathways.
DR. SHAFER: Two images from my recent experience at the University of California–San Francisco draw the contrast between basic research and clinical research in a way that is etched in my mind.
At UCSF, I go to the Program in Biological Sciences seminars held every Friday at noon mainly for the basic sciences faculty. The faculty are supposed to present their work in ways that will promote dialogue, and so they're not supposed to talk about what buffer they used. Rather, they're supposed to talk about the concepts they're trying to deal with. For the last two Fridays one of the more junior faculty members has been at the seminar with her baby. Afterward, half the room sort of surrounds her and talks about how she's doing and admires the baby. That's a picture of the kind of community that surrounds someone who has taken the opportunity, even before she has tenure, to have a child and be very open about that.
By contrast, I went to a talk by Ann Crittenden, who wrote the book called The Price of Motherhood. In a discussion after the talk one young clinician was practically in tears. She said, "I'm ready to get out of research. I don't know any woman who has managed to have a clinical research career, see patients, and also have kids. And I want kids." So we immediately put her in touch with a few people like Diane Wara and others to say it is possible. But she was feeling totally isolated and unable to have the kind of life that she wanted, balanced between research and her own life. Those two images for me are the extremes of acceptance and community, and isolation and despair.
DR. SHAYWITZ: Any comments? Our focus here, too, is to see how clinical societies can play a role. Are clinical societies able to intervene at an early stage, helping women who are engaged in clinical research?
DR. SHAFER: Clinical societies have a crucial role to play. In my own home society, the American Society for Cell Biology, women are on par with men in terms of leadership on the council, on program committees, and throughout the society's activities. I know that some clinical societies have started down that pathway. But my observation is that there is much less of that in the clinical world. A society can help to create an atmosphere and take steps to intervene at institutions to place women before search committees and other such things. So I think there is a very strong role for scientific societies in this realm. The trick is to take the lessons we learn today back not just to the choir, the women's committees, but also to the leadership of the societies we're trying to influence.
DR. SHAYWITZ: Does anyone in the audience have experience with a clinical society that can serve as a model because it has done just what Dr. Shafer described?

DR. ROBERTA L. HINES (YALE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE): I'm not sure I can answer that last question, although again, the Association of Women Surgeons has tried. We do have a little bit of an entrance through the back door, which is the American College of Surgeons. The current executive director of the American College of Surgeons is very friendly, shall we say, and has formally invited the Association of Women Surgeons to participate in programs. So I'm very hopeful that this will be our way into the big boys' organization.
But I do have a question. At my home institution, I've seen some junior women interested in clinical research say, "I can't do this. I'm a clinician; they want me to see more patients and bring in more money, because that's where the money comes from. If I do clinical research I'm taking time away from my clinician duties, and I'm never going to get promoted and tenured." So how can the professional societies help home institutions? How can we get that little credential of having done clinical research, perhaps sponsored by one of the professional societies, to counteract the negativity of less clinical revenue at the home institution? Is there a way we can get the professional societies to interact with universities in that way?
DR. PARDES: I think you've put your finger on a central point. The problem of adequate numbers of clinical researchers has been well documented, and the very points just made are ones heard from both women and men. The problem is, when one adds to that set of problems surrounding the clinical research career itself the other kinds of problems that are obstacles to women moving ahead in academic medicine, the difficulties are compounded. In other words, two sets of problems exacerbate one another.
Now let me preempt my own comments. I was a member of a clinical research panel that Harold Varmus, former director of the National Institutes of Health, convened and David Nathan, professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, chaired a few years back. The NIH has made some very good moves in trying to respond to some of the needs of clinical research. I argued at the time and I continue to argue that the clinical research panel should not have been disbanded, because this kind of issue is an ideal one for an NIH committee. I'm familiar with all the other advocacy groups, but such groups don't cut the same way as one that's perceived to be advising the NIH on how to proceed. The question of how to facilitate the movement of greater numbers of women into successful clinical research careers is a legitimate enough issue to ask the NIH to reconstitute its panel and put that as one of the priorities on the panel's agenda.
Now I want to segue into another point: the entire question of university attitudes toward people making accomplishments in clinical research. I am a faculty member at two universities, and at one, at least, the tendency to see clinical research as less valuable than basic research is compounded. One of the biggest problems is some of the faculty themselves.
One of the thoughts we've had about how to solve that problem—"we"

meaning the clinical research forum headed by Bill Crowley at the Association of Academic Health Centers—is to encourage the NIH leadership to come together with university leadership, by which I mean university presidents and deans, so that the source of funds for research, the people who control those funds, talk to the leadership of academic institutions about this problem.
DR. MICHAEL LOCKSHIN (WEILL COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, CORNELL UNIVERSITY): For the past decade I've been on various committees about clinical research, both at the NIH and outside the NIH. One of the issues that should be on the table is the very broad definition of who goes into clinical research. It encompasses the people who take blood or other specimens from individual patients and basically never get out of a laboratory, all the way up to the people who participate in drug trials, and those sorts of things, or outcome studies.
I would posit, and possibly in an inflammatory way, that the issue is not so much one of gender. It's that the larger-scale clinical activities are always ones that require large amounts of collaboration, result in multiple names on papers, and almost never end up in the individual being the first author on one thing or another. Such activities often take a very long time to accomplish and result in one or two large-scale papers as opposed to items in the journals that publish very rapidly and primarily in the basic sciences.
If there's a positive way to look at this and to put it in a gender context, and if women are in fact the better collaborators and the better sharers of information, then putting value on collaborative research, the multidisciplinary or multi-institutional types of research, and making that value their own would be a way to do that. As Dr. Pardes brought up, to be worthwhile, that value must be recognized at the institution level by promoting people for that type of activity as well.
To summarize, the issue is to define what is meant by clinical research when you're trying to describe whether or not women are advancing in that area. Then you need to reward those components that do not necessarily lend themselves to the same measurement criteria used for promotion in basic science activities.
DR. SINKFORD: I'd like to speak to several issues that have already been mentioned. Janet Bickel spoke about women in medicine, and most of the things occurring in dentistry are parallel. Female enrollment in dental schools has gone from 2 percent in 1970 to 40 percent in 2002. Twenty-five percent of the dental faculty are now women. If we were to lose those 25 percent, with 200 vacant faculty funded positions available in dental schools, we would really be in trouble. So we see women as a very critical resource for the future development of faculty, research, and community programs.
Our advanced programs for dentistry are similar to those in medicine, except that there is no required residency program. So about 36 percent of our students go into advanced training programs in the specialty areas such as orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics. Those programs usually include some research
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
requirements, but they're not extensive. As a result, men and women graduating from those programs are specialty qualified, but they are not clinical research qualified. That's where we have a gap in our ability to take those individuals who have completed advanced training programs and expect them to do clinical research. They just do not have the skills to do that kind of research without preceptors. I think similar things occur in medicine.
We've asked the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to help us secure some bridging grants so that individuals just leaving training programs and joining faculties or hospital staffs could have preceptors and therefore some kind of linkage with a research substructure that enables them to perform. We need to find ways of continuing that training and that mentorship. Those individuals do not have grantsmanship skills, which are very important. If they're going to get money to support their research, then they must find a way to develop those skills or be able to call on the infrastructure within their institution to help them write appealing and competitive grant applications.
At a summit held last year we brought together all the 55 dental school deans from across the country, with their chancellors and their presidents, to talk about enhanced clinical research within their institutions across disciplines and within the health science centers. We're trying to have an impact on how the research capacity of our schools will develop over the next few years. That capacity doesn't affect just women, but also male junior faculty.
This meeting is a way for academic institutions to partner with our societies. Much of clinical research could be undertaken through collaborative ventures. But we have not pursued that vigorously, either in medicine or in dentistry.
DR. SHAFER: I just had a comment on your discussion, Michael [Lochskin]. I see a role for scientific societies to find ways to reward junior faculty in a discipline in which the norm is large collaborative projects. Each society could consider taking a strategic look at its particular discipline and seeing how it can make recognitions externally that can be used internally.
DR. LOCKSHIN: That is a good idea. I think it is appropriate to bring up and value the collaborative components. Within even large-scale projects, individuals have original contributions. I think it would be a wonderful idea for a society to give a prize or additional money to a woman who has distinguished herself in that capacity. That would work very well within the usual criteria for promotion-national recognition and that sort of thing.
LYNN GERBER, M.D. (NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH): To pick up on something Dr. Lockshin raised, I work at the NIH, but I'm representing the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. It's a very practical group of clinicians who are quite ambivalent at some level about whether a science is associated with rehabilitation. It's a struggle that's going on right now fairly vigorously
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
within the academy. We've had lots and lots of recognition for clinicians and teachers and all kinds of people who have made enormous clinical contributions to our field, but we're very shy on the research side. In fact, a lot of discussion is under way right now on how to pull up the research activities of the academy.
With that in mind, the education and research fund has begun to target women, so that, interestingly enough, various kinds of scholarships and travel funds are available to encourage women to participate in research activities, attend conferences, and make presentations. It's a little early to know whether this effort will reach fruition, but what has emerged, as a result of women being a little bit more prominent in our academy, is the notion that maybe our academic centers should be looking at ways of providing tenure that do not rely so heavily on research. We are not a heavy research organization. For example, could we give tenure to people for very strong track records in teaching in clinical practice? As for what clinical research is all about, it needs the clinic. Often women are the clinicians who are providing the excellent care and the excellent research information that is the fodder for the statisticians and basic researchers who come up with the outcomes of those trials.
So the academy is now looking at whether we can lean a little bit less heavily on research and developing track records as first authors and look more toward the three legs of the medical school and the academic establishment, which include clinical practice and teaching.
DR. KAREN ANTMAN (COLUMBIA PRESBYTERIAN MEDICAL CENTER): At least in cancer, the clinical research track is fairly well defined. A junior faculty member collaborates with a laboratory at the cancer center or university. She has an idea that she then takes to the clinic and does a Phase I trial. If the Phase I trial shows that the idea is safe, she then does a Phase II trial. If she happens to be the investigator that has a Phase II trial that looks interesting, she goes into a cooperative group and does a big Phase III trial. She gets the leadership role in that trial, and so is now first author of a national paper. Her institution is not supposed to be putting patients into the Phase III trial because she's now supposed to be back doing the Phase I and Phase II pilots for the Phase III trial at a national level.
So this process allows clinical researchers to actually take leadership roles that are well defined for promotion committees and to achieve first-author publications—not in Science and Nature, but certainly in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association. It's hard to put this track in place where the culture's not there, but the track is well defined.
DR. SHAYWITZ: Do you think more women are represented in that track?
DR. ANTMAN: At least in cancer, plenty of women are represented in those doing the Phase I and Phase II trials and then, if the data look interesting, moving on to a Phase III trial and being the first author.

DR. DIANE WARA (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA–SAN FRANCISCO): Just to expand on Dr. Antman's statement, the National Cancer Institute–sponsored/funded cancer centers have insisted on door-to-door, back-to-back clinical investigations and laboratory-based investigations—that is, they have insisted on collaboration between the two. So I give the NIH some credit for the development of, I believe, the largest body of clinical investigators in the country in cancer.
DR. ANTMAN: But sometimes the laboratory investigators don't buy into this model, even though it is the model that is funded by the National Cancer Institute [NCI]. So we're caught between the culture of the university and the culture of the NCI, right in the middle.
DR. WARA: I wanted to make a different comment, however. The NIH funds 81 clinical research centers across the country. These clinical research centers have an annual meeting and a society. For the last decade, we have brought funded junior investigators to this meeting. About three years ago, the clinical research centers brought in the K-23 and K-24 award recipients (K-23s are mentored junior investigator training grants, and so they are in the name of the recipient, the mentee; K-24s are more senior). This year, we're going to include the K-12s, those eight who may have been funded, and we are inviting every funded K-23 investigator to the meeting to present his or her research. The Association for Patient-Oriented Research [APOR], led this year by Dr. Leon Rosenberg of Princeton University, will be coming to this meeting as well, as in past years.
I think what we've heard today is the importance of intervening at a fairly junior level in order to nurture and expand the body of clinical investigators in this country. The meeting I described is an example of the NIH collaborating with societies, because both of the societies mentioned are NIH-based groups. It also is an example of focusing on junior investigators to ensure that we engage them early in their careers in clinical investigation. This may be the largest group of clinical investigators in the country, and we should try to engage that group. The group badly needs help, and we desperately need help in terms of a model so that we can help them.
DR. PAGE MORAHAN (NATIONAL CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP IN ACADEMIC MEDICINE): I also want to amplify the talk on how to broaden the view of scholarship. It's critically important, because scholarship has hierarchies. Applied scholarship is lower on the totem pole, as is interdisciplinary scholarship. Certainly our universities can provide one approach to broadening the view of scholarship; they could broaden their own internal rules for promotion and valuing broader scholarship. But that's not enough, because in this day and age when faculty move from one school to another they need to know that they have the "scholarship union card" they can take with them to other universities.
So I'm very much pleased to hear about the collaboration of societies and the
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
efforts of societies to broaden their own views of scholarship. That's where we need more activity. This has been done to some extent in the basic sciences, such as the American Chemical Society and others, where the American Association of Higher Education undertook a granting process to help each society develop a broader view of scholarship. We need to do the same thing through the Council of Academic Societies.
NANCY SUNG (BURROUGHS WELLCOME FUND): I was very excited that Dr. Wara mentioned the clinical research meeting, and I would like to add a few more things about that meeting, perhaps as fodder for discussions at this meeting. A portion of that meeting described by Dr. Wara was sponsored by five foundations working in collaboration: the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Howard Hughes, Robert Wood Johnson, and Juvenile Diabetes.
Each foundation was receiving funding requests from multiple clinical research societies for duplicative activities. We felt that a collaborative effort might actually reach more people and be more substantial. So the clinical research meeting Dr. Wara referred to actually had a career development track in it that provided a mock study section—a session on the new NIH loan repayment program as well as networking opportunities. We discovered that many of the trainees attending those meetings were also part of smaller specialty societies that did not have a full-blown career development track for their young investigators. We believed that if the meeting could grow to include perhaps some of the smaller societies that don't have the capacity or the funds to mount such an effort, it could act as a resource for these people similar to that provided by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology for basic scientists. These funders are actively thinking about this, and they would love to hear your thoughts on it.
JANINE SMITH (NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE): Long ago there was a question about how individual societies or groups might be able to effect change within their groups. The American Academy of Ophthalmology formed a subgroup called Women in Ophthalmology, which gave women one way to get a specific forum at the academy's national meeting and to invite speakers that covered topics from women's health issues to things such as recognizing retinal changes associated with battering. So one approach is to form a group within your academy and then seek to place a member of that group on the board—our goal in the future.
I also would like to comment on Dr. Lockshin's and Dr. Antman's comments on clinical research and what it is. This issue is different for every specialty. It is quite straightforward to develop an anticancer therapy—Phase I, Phase II, Phase III—and then seek the approval of the Food and Drug Administration. The outcome measures for those trials are quite clear; it's mortality. For other fields, it is not that straightforward. For example, natural history studies—the epidemiologic studies needed to get prevalence data in order to do valid sample size
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
calculations for those clinical trials—have to be done. Those are not as straightforward and take a very long time.
Clinical research includes many types of studies, and I don't think we all recognize that. In fact, there is a Society for Clinical Trials for people who are clinical trialists. That's another meeting and another society that we should add to our list.
ESA WASHINGTON (JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, SOCIETY OF TEACHERS OF FAMILY MEDICINE): I just completed a fellowship, the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program. Many of my colleagues and I are concerned about the debt issue, which is very big. A woman comes out of residency with a $100,000 debt at a minimum, if not more, and she can't defer in residency like she could have done several years ago. Does she go into a fellowship for another two to three years, at a salary of $30,000–40,000 plus minimal benefits? This situation is even more difficult when children are added to the mix.
We need to figure out some way to give fellows and residents financial planning advice along with the career development advice so that they can somehow balance their situation and really believe that the short-term sacrifice they're making will pay off in the long term. It's one of the things that's extremely challenging for fellows and extremely stressful. They're trying to think of a research question and do a great project and get the papers published, all while trying to deal with large personal financial responsibilities with little support.
DR. SHAYWITZ: I'm so glad you brought that up, because that's such a prevalent issue and one that people don't speak about. That will give us something to talk about during our breakout sessions and perhaps as we sum up.
DR. ANTMAN: That's why mentors are necessary. And to comment elsewhere, certainly clinical trials are only a small part of clinical research. I usually like to describe the continuum of research as laboratory, clinical, and public health. Public health has a whole different aspect of research. Population-based research is quite different from clinical research and quite different from laboratory research. Good health research cancer centers and medical centers need a continuum of all three, I believe.
JOAN AMATNIEK (JANSSEN PHARMACEUTICALS): I do clinical research and I don't work in an academic center; I work for a pharmaceutical company. I'm only three years out of a fellowship. The opportunities for women to do clinical research in particular in pharmaceutical companies cannot be beat by universities anywhere. My boss doesn't just compete with the competitors for me, he competes with my family for me and he knows it. So in my work life, I get to do great research, I get to work with experts, I get to design those big trials that other people work on, plus I work for someone who doesn't want me to abandon my family.
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
I would like us to think about where clinical research is done. It's not done just at the university. Think about other options and perhaps bigger strategies. Perhaps in the early part of a woman's career, after her fellowship, it's better that she work in industry and be able to have these leadership opportunities. Later on, when her kids are bigger, she could bring those skills back to the university.
DR. PARDES: Your point's very well taken. Sometimes we tend to think in terms of there being only one place to do research—universities. But having said that, I think that I would not want that to divert our attention from the fact that within the university culture itself there's still a problem we have to deal with.
DR. SHAYWITZ: These wonderful comments have broadened our purview, both of how much progress has been made and of the problems that still exist. Now I'd like to ask our panel to sum up their perceptions of one or two key points that they would like to leave with the audience to serve as a basis for our discussions in the next part of the workshop.
DR. SINKFORD: I was struck by the comment about funding. I think some programs are now in place to help with loan repayment. We should follow up on that as a means of keeping the junior researchers in the pool and making it easy for them to make a decision about a long-term career.
DR. SHAFER: The theme I heard is not on any individual point but on the need for us, as we think about what problems we're trying to solve, to be strategic. Take a very specific problem and try to take a strategic look at it.
DR. PARDES: If I could make two or three points. First, I want to go back to Dr. Marino's data, because I think they were very instructive. She told us that about 45 percent of medical school students are women. But her 1998 figures show the percentages going down as women move up the ladder: from 41.9 percent as instructors, to 32.8 percent as assistant professors, 25.4 percent as associate professors, and 13.6 percent as full professors—substantial drops in each of the successive faculty slots. So something is happening in a continuing way and a look at it would help us focus on the problems.
Second, I think mentorship should not just be mentioned, but should be the subject of a full-focus discussion unto itself. What is it? How does it get done? Why do people do it? How do we give people the incentive to do it? I was happy that at the NIH some of the new grant mechanisms they established in connection with the clinical research thrust included some faculty support for mentoring. Mentoring should be a criterion perhaps for promotion, or for tenure, or for financial incentives. I think that would help. Mentoring is a complicated business, yet most people in research careers would acknowledge that the quality of mentorship and the kind of leaders one can turn to—both immediate, ongoing
OCR for page 43
Achieving XXCellence in Science: Role of Professional Societies in Advancing Women in Science - Proceedings of a Workshop AXXS 2002
mentors on-site and then contacts around the country through societies and such—can make all the difference in whether a person feels nurtured and is able to blossom into a real scientist.
Finally, when we ask whether we should turn to societies or universities in dealing with the problems, I suggest that we look for some way to convene the leadership of several entities—the NIH, the universities, the societies, the pharmaceutical companies—to say, all right, there's something that each one of us could do. Is there some way in which, by collaborating, we could create a fabric and have on each of our agendas people whose reward, whose gratification in life, is to address this issue and promote it? That is, they are put on the spot, if you will, for seeing that these kinds of figures move in more dramatic ways throughout the discipline.

This was one of my sleepers before FA even started.. he had 440 yards on 24 receptions last year. He averaged 18 yard per catch. runs a 4.31 at 6'1
18 yards per catch tells me he either broke alot for big, or is good every time and wasnt thrown to alot.

"just got home from a long but great day of practice and press - DWTS is goin to be a challenge but i know i have #situationnation behind me" -- Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, alluding to the existence of a politicized pro-Situation faction that will doubtlessly give him the votes to stay on the show. A new world order? No, just a New Jersey order.

Manufacturer: Teufel
In today's increasingly wireless world, cables can be a real thorn in our side, cluttering up living rooms and making it impossible to install equipment in a tidy, minimal way. It's the stuff domestic disputes are made of, and is particularly problematic when it comes to home cinema systems – the need to install surround speakers means you'll have a bunch of cables snaking their way from your AV receiver to the back of the room. If you've had the foresight to run them into walls or behind skirting then fair play to you, but if not then hiding them away can be a real nightmare.
That's why manufacturers have been coming up with various ways of avoiding this tangled mess. Teufel's answer is the RearStation 4, which has been conceived to satisfy the ever-growing demand for wireless music streaming as well as simplifying home cinema installation. With a price tag pushing £300, it's not a cheap solution, but the beauty is that it works with any of your audio hardware, unlike wireless rear kits from some big-name manufacturers that only work with a particular all-in-one system or brand.
Here's how the RearStation 4 works. In the box, you get one transmitter and one receiver unit. The transmitter connects to the source device, be it a hi-fi, AV receiver, DAB radio, iPod or whatever, and it beams the stereo signal digitally to the receiver, which is connected to a pair of speakers in the desired position up to 20m away from the transmitter. Because the receiver has a built-in amplifier, the speakers you connect do not need to be active (powered) – you can connect any passive speakers you like.
The RS 4 WLT transmitter sports a single set of analogue cinch line inputs on the back, which allows you to connect your audio device. This is the only input, so piping signals to the unit digitally is out of the question. In a home cinema setup, where you're using the RearStation 4 to drive the rear speakers, these would be connected to the surround pre-outs on the back of your AV receiver. Also found on the back of the transmitter are two switches, one that lets you choose between three different RF channels, which helps avoid interference from other wireless devices (obviously both the receiver and transmitter need to be set to the same channel), and the other to activate the Auto On mode.
On the back of the RS 4 WLR receiver are two pairs of plastic binding posts for each speaker, providing a sturdy connection with the speaker cables, which sit alongside the channel selection switch.
It would be ironic if a product designed to keep things discreet stood out like a sore thumb, but thankfully both the transmitter and receiver are immensely attractive, and should therefore slip into your setup with minimal aesthetic disruption. Key to their allure is the sleek gloss-black finish and compact dimensions. The transmitter is the smaller of the two, measuring a slinky 11(w) x 3.2(h) x 8.6(d)cm, while the receiver measures 12.5(w) x 4.2(h) x 18(d)cm and looks like an external HDD. They also boast reasonable build quality, although their plastic casing makes them a tad light and hollow-sounding when tapped.
On the front panels, you'll find a smattering of buttons embedded among the ventilation holes. The receiver features buttons for turning the volume up and down, with a Mute button sandwiched between them. The transmitter simply features a power button. Both units feature an LED on the right-hand side that glows blue in operation, but glows red when there's no connection.

The IMF said a stimulus equal to about 3 percent of China's annual economic output spread over 2012-13 would limit the decline in Chinese growth to about 1 percentage point. That would be about 460 billion yuan ($75 billion). China's banks might be shielded by barriers that keep its financial system sealed off from global capital flows, the IMF said. But it said a sharp fall in Western stock markets might disrupt trade credit. The government of Hong Kong, a Chinese territory with its own financial system, announced last week it will spend 80 billion Hong Kong dollars ($10.3 billion) this year on stimulus measures. Citing anemic trade, it said the Hong Kong economy could grow by as little as 1 percent this year after slowing to 3 percent in the final quarter of 2011. ___ Online: IMF Beijing office:

To keep up with bsl in Alabama keep an eye on The alabama canine coalition website. www.alabamacaninecoalition.org They keep up pretty good but alot of it you just have to research through other people and newspapers to get it on time.
I live in Montgomery and have several pits, I dont know what I would do if they started making laws about my dogs. I have very well behaved family pets.

Police Chief Dan Watson didn't get exactly what he wanted from the Town Council Wednesday evening, but at least he got something.
That's more than he got in his first two tries before the council, on Dec. 15 and Jan. 19, when the chief tried to figure out a way to add some muscle to his force.
On both those occasions, the council turned him down flat.
But on Wednesday, after yet another proposal from Watson, the council approved filling the MLPD's open lieutenant position from within and adding a sergeant.
While much of the rest of the country got walloped by a massive winter storm this week, the Sierra remained stuck in a stubborn dry pattern that shows no signs of breaking anytime soon.
Even the groundhog in Punxsutawney didn't see his shadow meaning, if groundhogs can be believed, that winter will end soon.
But the huge snows that hit the Sierra back in December were enough to, so far at least, protect the state of California, which gets 30 percent of its water from the Sierra Nevada mountains.
How do we know?
Members of the Recreation Commission began to wrap their heads around implementing the town's recreation vision on Wednesday afternoon.
The commission met with Carl Ribaldo and Austin McInerney of the Strategic Marketing Group, along with facilitator, former Tourism and Recreation director Danna Stroud.
The consulting group walked the commission through the steps and guidelines that would make the so-called "RecStrats" document a viable recreation road map by August.

Summary Add
Down Bromley Kent
My dear Lyell
We have been grievously disappointed in Etty having retrograded a little. I cannot work, so will pass a little time in scribbling to you.— I copy extract from letter of Blyth, who expresses much gratitude to you for interest about the Chinese Expedition.— I enclose letter of Hopkins, thinking that you might like to see it.— I fancy he is horrified about man; I have told him that I thought man must be included under same category with animals.
I return by this Post 4 Pamphlets (Binney sent today by mistake in duplicate). I do not see much in Binney. Lowels review is pleasantly written; but it is clear he is not naturalist. He quite overlooks the importance of accumulation of mere individual differences; & which I think I can show is great agency of change under domestication. It is no wonder Agassiz denies varieties in animals, when he calls even the same forms in two distant countries, two species.—
I have not finished Schaafhausen, as I read German so badly:
I have ordered copy for self & sh
There is notice of me in penultimate no
I have expressly stated that I believe physical conditions have more direct effect on Plants than on animals.— But the more I study the more I am led to think that natural selection regulates in a state of nature most trifling differences.— As squared stones, or bricks, or timber are the indispensable materials for a building & influence its character; so is variability not only indispensable, but influential; Yet, in same manner, as the architect is the all-important person in a Building, so is Selection with organic bodies.—
I do not in least understand what A. Murray meant by Agassiz & ab ovo; but I did not much puzzle my brains on subject.—

William Hopkins's letter has not been found. In the second part of his review of Origin (Hopkins 1860, 62: 88), Hopkins stated that he considered `the most difficult and most important point' of any transformist theory was `the transition in passing up to man from the animals next beneath him, not to man considered merely as a physical organism, but to man as an intellectual and moral being.' - +

CD's copy of Schaaffhausen 1853 is in the Darwin Pamphlet Collection--CUL. Bound with it is a manuscript translation of pp. 423--4, possibly in the hand of Camilla Ludwig, the Darwins' governess. CD marked on the translation the following passage: `Many species may have kept true during a long period, only a few individuals, with a gradually changing formation, may have separated from them, and thus new varieties or species may have been formed beside the original species. Species are independent, without connecting links, (gradual transitions) because these have not been preserved'. CD quoted this statement in the revised historical sketch he added to the third edition of Origin (1861). - +
- f9 2832.f9

Lyell's letter has not been found. - +
- f11 2832.f11
The passage reads (Murray 1860a, p. 290):The distinctive character of Mr Darwin's theory is not development ex ovo; that is the theory of Oken, of Agassiz, of the author of the ``Vestiges of Creation''; … of Bonnet and of Priestley, who . . . held ``that all the germs of future plants, organical bodies of all kinds, and the reproducible parts of them, were really contained in the first germ.'' Andrew Murray refers to Lorenz Oken, Louis Agassiz, Robert Chambers, Charles Bonnet, and Joseph Priestley. - +
- f12 2832.f12
Sabine ed. 1840, p. cxvii. The book had been translated from Wrangel 1839 by Elizabeth Juliana Sabine. CD first read this work in 1840 (see Correspondence vol. 4, Appendix IV, 119: 10a). - +
- f13 2832.f13
Probably J. Richardson 1852, p. 322, in which John Richardson mentioned the use by the Eskimo of wood or bones for tools and other implements.

Vulnerability Note VU#166651
Husdawg, LLC Systems Requirements Lab ActiveX control and Java applet vulnerable to arbitrary code download and execution
The Husdawg, LLC. System Requirements Lab ActiveX control and Java applet allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to download and execute arbitrary code.
Husdawg, LLC. provides an ActiveX control and signed Java Applet that are used for benchmarking the capabilities of a PC. The ActiveX control is provided by sysreqlab.dll, sysreqlabsli.dll, or sysreqlab2.dll, and the Java version is provided by SRLApplet.class, which may be contained in sysreqlab2.jar or sysreqlab.jar. The software is commonly used to determine if a system meets the requirements necessary to run video games. The System Requirements Lab components can be scripted to request an executable file from that server, which is then immediately executed. This file may be retrieved over HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP protocols. |
A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable server. |
Apply an update This vulnerability is addressed in version 3 of the System Requirements Lab software. This version is available on the systemrequirementlab.com web server. This version of the ActiveX control restricts which domains can call the methods provided by the control. |

Data Visualization Software for the Agilent EXA, MXA, and PSA Signal and Spectrum Analyzers
| Watch this File
MATLAB is a software environment and programming language used to make measurements, analyze and visualize data, control instruments, and build test systems. Agilent signal and spectrum analyzers enable you to analyze distortion, spurious, phase noise, and make 2G to 4G wireless communication measurements.
This Advanced Data Visualization (ADV) application software developed in MATLAB extends the value of Agilent signal and spectrum analyzers by allowing the analysis of a spectrum over time with four different display formats: Analog Advanced, Analog Plus, Waterfall, and Spectrogram. These displays make it easier to see variations of a signal over time or to capture intermittent signals.
Authored by Kace Dreitlein of Agilent Technologies. Note: Most of the example is provided in MATLAB code for examination. However, some of the example is in P-code for Agilent-specific commands.
For additional information on using MATLAB with Agilent instruments, including examples, demos, drivers, and videos, visit the Agilent resource center at: http://www.mathworks.com/agilent
I hope this updated application works for everyone. If you have any questions on getting started using this example, you are welcome to contact me directly. I would like to thank Brice and Jesse for their feedback.

South Carolina i/ˌsaʊθ kærəˈlaɪnə/ is a state in the Southeastern United States. It is bordered to the north by North Carolina; to the south and west by Georgia, located across the Savannah River; and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina was the first of the 13 colonies that declared independence from the British Crown during the American Revolution.
South Carolina was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, and the 8th state to ratify the US Constitution on May 23, 1788. South Carolina later became the first state to vote to secede from the Union which it did on December 20, 1860. It was readmitted to the United States on June 25, 1868.
Lake Strom Thurmond, also known as Clarks Hill Lake, is a reservoir at the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the Savannah River Basin. It was created by the J. Strom Thurmond Dam during 1951 and 1952 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers near the confluence of the "Little River" and the Savannah River. At 71,000 acres (287 km²), it is the third-largest artificial lake east of the Mississippi River, behind the Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River and Lake Marion on the Santee River. The J. Strom Thurmond Dam is located upstream from Augusta, Georgia.
The Thurmond Lake and Dam is one of the southeast's largest and most popular public recreation lakes. The dam Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1946 and 1954 but the lake was filled during 1951 and 1952 as part of a flood control, hydropower, and navigation project. Its legally authorized purposes now include recreation, water quality, water supply, and fish and wildlife management. Each year, millions of people utilize the many public parks, marinas, and campgrounds conveniently located around the lake to pursue a variety of outdoor recreational experiences -making Thurmond one of the 10 most visited Corps lakes in the nation.
The Saluda Dam (officially the Dreher Shoals Dam, commonly referred to as the Lake Murray Dam) is an earthen embankment dam located approximately 10 miles (15 km) west of Columbia, South Carolina on the Saluda River. Construction on the dam began in 1927 and was completed in 1930. The purpose of the dam is flood control, hydroelectricity, recreation and water supply. At the time of its completion, the Saluda Dam was the world's largest earthen dam, creating the world's largest man-made lake, Lake Murray. In 2005, construction on a 213 ft (65 m). tall roller-compacted concrete dam was completed at the toe of the original dam in order to mitigate an earthquake-caused dam failure.
South Carolina Highway 6 crosses over the dam and is used as a fast connection between the towns of Lexington, SC and Irmo, SC. The yearly football game between rival Lexington High School and Irmo High School is often called 'The Battle of the Dam'.
The United States is a country in the Northern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, and the Eastern Hemisphere. It consists of forty-eight contiguous states in North America, Alaska, a peninsula which forms the northwestern most part of North America, and Hawaii, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. There are several United States territories in the Pacific and Caribbean. The term "United States", when used in the geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. The country shares land borders with Canada and Mexico and maritime (water) borders with Russia, Cuba, and the Bahamas in addition to Canada and Mexico.
As defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and used by the U.S. Census Bureau for statistical purposes only, the Columbia Metropolitan Statistical Area, is an area consisting of six counties in central South Carolina, anchored by the city of Columbia. As of the 2010 census, the MSA had a population of 767,598; as of the 2012 Census estimates, the population is 784,745. It is the second-largest metropolitan statistical area in the state of South Carolina.
The Saluda River is a principal tributary of the Congaree River, about 200 mi (320 km) long, in northern and western South Carolina in the United States. Via the Congaree River, it is part of the watershed of the Santee River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean.
Chapin, popularly known as the capital of Lake Murray, is a town located in Lexington County, South Carolina. Chapin was founded by Martin Chapin in 1889. The following year, 1890, the railroad was built to connect Chapin to Columbia, South Carolina and other major regions. The population of Chapin was 1,445 according to the 2010 census. The town government is set up in the Mayor-Council form and the current Chapin mayor is Stanley Shealy. Chapin has four public schools in the area; the first Chapin school was built in 1924. Lake Murray is the main attraction to Chapin, South Carolina and provides recreational boaters with water-related entertainment. Chapin also features many local known restaurants and shops.

nice technique
my wife and i do this when i eat her; i eat her several times up to a near-orgasm and stop and the last one i finger her and touch her gspot with a come here motion with my middle finger....she usually cums so hard she squirts all over and has to take a half hour to an hour to recover...it works and she loves it!
by Pandragon08/01/08YES! YES! YES!
I've been doing this kind of practice for many years, so this wasn't new information to me, but I absolutely LOVE the way you described it!
You kept it simple, yet enticing and most of all, dismissed all the gender-specific, dogmatic nonsense that so often gets mixed in with the teachings. Orgasmic ecstasy is a wonderful and natural pleasure that anyone can enjoy and your article explains it very eloquently. Bravo!
Just a couple things to add from personal experience:
Speaking as a man, I've found that after enough "Powergasm" practice, those peaks and valleys of orgasmic pleasure become more than enough to provide deep and total orgasmic satisfaction all by themselves, so that I rarely feel any urge to finish such sessions (whether solo or with my personal Goddess) with ejaculation. I find that ending sessions without ejaculating leaves me feeling wonderfully refreshed and energized.
Also, learning to move the orgasmic energy throughout the body, chakras, etc, can eventually enable one to enjoy those "Powergasms" spontaneously, at will, without any physical stimulation required. Often, just wanting to feel that pleasure, will trigger it and with a little concentration, I can continue riding those orgasmic waves for as long as I desire. This morning, I enjoyed several full-body orgasms while eating my breakfast and watching the morning news all at the same time! It's literally that easy (not to mention fun and convenient) once you get your orgasmic energy flowing smoothly. I know many people of both genders who have learned to do this. It's a universal human ability that virtually anyone can learn!
Anyway, thanks again for writing this. And please keep writing!by shaman4301/23/09by Flpanther05/24/10Click here to leave your own comment on this submission! or

Ed Felten and colleagues, with the distinguished inclusion of Kernighan (of C fame), have done similarly.
"Changes to copyright that would benefit copyright holders" ... hmm. I would consider top among those shortening (retroactively affecting existing works of course) copyright terms to a few years, which is when most of the commercial value is extracted anyway. It would force copyright owners to get off their fat keisters and keep generating new works to stay ahead of the loss of revenue streams from older works falling into the public domain, while giving them a richer and more current public domain on which to build new works. Oh, wait -- forget I said all of that. It made perfect sense back when the purpose of copyright law was to "promote the progress of science and the useful arts"; but since they passed whatever amendment it was that changed the progress clause to say "allow fatcats to profit indefinitely at public expense from a finite amount of work, while holding back the progress of science and the useful arts" I suppose shortening copyright terms no longer makes much sense.

Bicycle Shoe Cleats for Toeclip Pedals at Yellow Jersey Many of us prefer toeclips for a number of reasons- even in this new century. One good application is winter- which is pretty formidable here in Wisconsin. Riding with unmutilated fully enclosed neoprene shoe covers is dry and just toasty warm compared to cutting holes in the bottom for clipless cleats. And not only vintage bicycles have toeclips. The bicycle industry in general pretends we don't exist! New shoes no longer include toeclip fittings. Even finding a good selection of toeclip sizes is difficult out there in the cold world beyond Yellow Jersey. If you prefer toeclips, we can help. Of course we have a selection of toeclips, toestraps and related gear on our Toeclip Page Here are some of the accoutrements you'll want to complete that setup:
New model below:
Nearly all the shoes we sold for many years included cleats for toeclip pedals. For some reason that's changed, and today no major shoe supplier even offers toeclip cleats. We make these neat little nylon cleats to fit standard Look drilled soles. We've found that two screws are sufficient, since this cleat doesn't pull away at the front as would a clipless pedal cleat. 100% American made from virgin nylon with USA metric screws and steel inserts.
We support leather-soled shoe cleats like these TA road units. We have inserts to change your leather shoes from nails to screws. That hardware also allows us to add threaded holes in the sole of any shoe, leather or nylon, to change or add cleat format. For example, our employee bought a beautiful pair of wingtips (maybe $200 new, but just $10 at a thrift store) to which we added threaded inserts for a mountain bike cleat and a shoemaker bonded in some tread from a Vibram soled workboot. End result? A formal dress on/off road pair of the most comfortable shoes a man could ever own! Threaded inserts are so much neater, but mostly they're simpler to make small changes to cleat angle. If you have kept your nail-on cleat format, and you are near to Madison, we have a couple of steel shoemakers' lasts and an assortment of cleat nails. That job is pretty difficult to do at home. Real Italian shoemakers aren't on every corner nowadays either. No charge for use of the tools.
Besides these, we have lots more cross products and we can fabricate custom cyclo-cross cleat spikes to fit just about any shoe format. . |

Welcome To The Party Montee Ball – There have been rumblings for some time now, but it would seem that after last week's 4 TD, 156 yard game against Penn State Montee Ball is now officially on the Heisman Trophy watch list. Here's the problem, is it too late? Unfortunately I think that may be the case for the Junior Running Back. For the early part of this season, Montee Ball was hidden behind Russell Wilson who was getting all the Heisman hype. After the MSU & Ohio State games, Wilson fell out of favor & it's taken till the last week of the Big Ten season for Ball to emerge from that shadow as Wisconsin's true Heisman hopeful. I expect Ball may get an invitation to New York for the Heisman ceremony, but I don't think he's got a shot at winning it as either Alabama's Trent Richardson or Stanford's Andrew Luck (both who have been in consideration since early on) will walk away with the hardware. The silver lining here? Ball is only a Junior and should he actually decide to stick around for this Senior year (doubtful, I know), he should be on the Heisman radar early on after this season's late surge.

I agree: Too little, too late for Ball based on how the Heisman votes decide on their winner. However, Ball should be a winner next spring when he gets drafted and puts together a solid NFL career.

Paratek has completed clinical studies necessary to advance oral and IV formulations of omadacycline into Phase 3 development. These studies will be conducted under two Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, agreements, one in ABSSSI and one in CABP. Paratek is currently planning additional studies of omadacycline for the urinary tract infection (UTI) indication.

The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will ask you to send them back the difference in money. A couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and the bank will take it out of your account. This scam can be set up several ways.
Some key points for pointing out a scammer: 1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction. 2. Says they will use their own shipper. 3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa) 4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A cute book about embarrassment, fear, and friendship. Great for kids to learn to laugh at themselves This story was about embarrassment and its effects. Authur has a dream that he will be without his pants at school. He rips his pants and then stops having dreams. Reading Level 2.9 In this story, Binky rips his pants and everyone laughs at him. Arthur thought it was so funny but then started having nightmares about wearing no pants, and then actually ripped his pants. Binky is there to cover for him so he isn't embarrassed.Then Buster goes through the same process of the nightmares. This story shows that everyone goes through embarrassing moments but you have to not let it take over you. When embarrassing things happen, friends should be there for each other because we all know what it feels like to be embarrassed. After reading the book, students could tell of times they were embarrassed. Children love anything that has to do with underwear so they will really enjoy this book. After Arthur's friend Binky rips his pants at school, he begans having nightmares that he will do the same. The nightmares are really scary so he confides with his best friend Buster about it. Buster tells everyone at school. Arthur is embarrassed and accidently rips his pants at lunch. Binky was there to be a good friend and help him get out of the situation. The story shows up that embarrassing things happen to everyone and it's important to remember you are still you. This would be a good book for kindergarten to second grade students. It would be a good book to start a conversation about embarrassment. This would be a good way to let students know that it is normal to get embarrassed, but that you shouldn't let it get you down. no reviews | add a review
