The latest research by independent IT trade association Intellect reveals a worrying decline in the numbers of women working in the IT industry.
The percentage of women in high-tech occupations has dropped from between 19 to 21 per cent in 2000 to just 16 per cent – women make up 46 per cent of the UK's workforce.
According to Carrie Hartnell, programme manager at Intellect, the drop in numbers is worrying in light of an increased focus on diversity and countless industry and government initiatives aimed at attracting women into IT.
The Intellect report, conducted in conjunction with the Department of Trade and Industry and carried out with help from IT sector skills organisation e-Skills UK, finds two main reasons for the shortage of women: a bad public image and the perception of IT as a geek industry; and a lack of understanding about the opportunities available.
Hartnell says the opinion among a lot of young women is that they will never rise above the middle tier in the IT hierarchy, and research does not dispel that theory. Intellect figures show 61 per cent of women working within the IT industry are performing database administration roles.
Retention issues will have an impact on such figures, according to Hartnell, who says companies are struggling to keep their female IT staff. 'Women are not just leaving when they have children – they are leaving even earlier in their twenties,' she says.
'Perhaps even more concerning, is highly skilled women are leaving IT in their late 40s and early 50s, so we are losing highly skilled staff and senior female role models and mentors.'
Research carried out last year by Intellect attributes the low retention of women to a lack of flexible working, a male culture, long hours and an inability to be managed in an effective way.
But the shortage of female technology professionals presents a commercial opportunity for some firms specialising in the recruitment of IT professionals. One such initiative is web site www.womenintechnology.co.uk, a specialist online job board and networking site launched in March 2005.
Maggie Berry, the web site's spokeswoman, says the response from clients was overwhelming and indicates a definite willingness from firms to enlist women into their IT divisions.
The web site has an active network of 2,000 female professionals and sponsors a women's' category at the European Banking Technology Awards, as well as the BlackBerry Women & Technology Awards.
The growing proliferation of these awards signals a recognition that attracting and encouraging more women to enter the IT industry is becoming increasingly important.
Charmaine Eggberry, organiser of the BlackBerry Women in IT Awards and European VP at RIM, creator of the BlackBerry handheld system, says the awards highlight successful women in the industry with the aim of attracting a new generation of women to technology.
'More than 27 per cent of women believe role models and mentors are fundamental to getting more women into IT, yet an overwhelming majority of those do not know where to find these role models,' she says.
But Eggberry says that true success lies not only in attracting talent to the industry, but in retaining women through more new work practices. 'Flexible working, in terms of place and time, is something that organisations need to look at to accommodate and encourage different styles of working,' she says.
'We have to recognise that women will take a career break and come back into the industry, so it is not just about getting women to join the technology industry, but getting them to rejoin.'
Shirin Dehghan, winner of this year's BlackBerry Women & Technology Awards, agrees that more flexibility is needed to attract and retain women, but she believes that encouraging women along a technology career path should start early.
'I have to attribute my success in technology to my upbringing and the fact that I have five older brothers and was pretty much brought up like a boy,' she says. 'My brothers acted as role models and my eldest brother was a mechanical engineer with his own business, which made it a very natural choice for me at university.'
Dehghan realises she was the exception rather than the norm, and believes that encouraging girls at school level is the key to a better gender balance in the technology industry.
'Since I won this award I went to my daughter's school to offer myself up to talk to the girls who might be making subject choices, as that is when they need encouragement,' says Dehghan.
She says IT is a male-dominated industry, stating that she was the only female student among 120 males when studying electronics. 'I am not going to sit here and say there is no discrimination because there is, and a woman has to prove herself more than a man. But once you get past that point and you are accepted as an equal it doesn't matter so much.'
Despite her acknowledgement that IT is a male-dominated industry, Dehghan does not believe in positive discrimination and feels strongly that everyone should be treated based on merit – whatever their gender.
And being a woman has not hampered her success, she is currently chief executive of technology company Ariso, which she founded in 2003 and which has now grown to a staff of 30. 'I personally have not found being a woman is a negative – in fact, it has opened up a few doors for me because it is actually so rare,' says Dehghan.
Which is why Dehghan's solution within her own company is to employ open-minded managers and maintain a good representation of women on the board, which comprises three women and three men. But statistics within the wider industry show a different story.
According to Jane Binner, associate director at recruitment agency Computer People, 43 of the top 100 UK firms still have no women on the board and less than two per cent of senior executives are women. With an additional 18 per cent pay gap between women in the IT industry and their male counterparts, there is a significant disparity between the sexes.
Fewer than 20 per cent of graduates in IT are female, according to Computer People's studies, and the sector is losing more women than it recruits year on year.
'Our figures show something like 15-16 per cent of our IT placements are female, and where you do get slight differences are in particular job functions where communications and softer skills are more important,' says Binner.
'These roles are in business analysis, project management, service delivery and management. And this figure diminishes with seniority, forming a pyramid in terms of the number of women at the top, probably less than 10 per cent at director level,' she says.
Despite the lack of women at the top it is not all doom and gloom, according to Binner, who sees opportunities for women as technology jobs have become more people focused.
'I think IT has changed over the past 10 years in that jobs have become less technical and it is more about the business interface, and as the nature of the roles have shifted so has the opportunity for women,' she says.
Such opportunities have to be communicated to women at a young age, so they are aware of the breadth of roles within the IT industry. 'Women are just not coming into the industry at the bottom end in the appropriate numbers, and it all goes back to how technology jobs are viewed at schools,' says Binner.
'If we can start to influence the 14- and 15-year-olds now we can start to improve the flow even if there is no quick fix, and we are years away from seeing an equal gender split in IT. We need to give girls role models and examples of high-profile career IT women, but the problem is that it is a niche market and even if there are roles models they do not have that much visibility outside the sector.'
Despite the official figures, Binner still maintains that she has no evidence that women do not have the same opportunities as their male colleagues. That idea is echoed by Jane Tateson, a leading technologist at BT, who believes that despite still being a minority in IT, women do not have significant barriers against success in the field.
'As soon as you convince people that you know what you are talking about and that you are good at your job that's normally enough to get on,' says Tateson. 'I occasionally meet an engineer who has never worked for a woman before and to start with they won't look you in the eye – but having the maturity to ignore it means sooner or later they will respect you just for doing a good job,' she says.
Tateson attended a single sex school that was strong on science subjects, and believes schooling is probably where potential success in technology starts. 'It is a combination of good teaching and culture which possibly means single sex environments for girls wanting to do sciences because they do not get shouted down by boys,' says Tateson.
'By university most people can hold their own but at the adolescence stage girls become far less confident in their abilities. I do not believe being a woman has made any difference to my career and I would be wary of positive discrimination because it makes people sceptical.'
Positive discrimination is a policy that insurance giant Standard Life has never adhered to, despite having an IT female workforce of about 30 per cent, well above the national average.
Keith Young, the firm's IT director, says the favourable ratio of women to men within his 900-strong IT staff can be attributed to hiring workers based on their ability to do the job.
'We used to take on graduate trainees from all disciplines and often there would be a higher volume of females coming in under that scheme,' he says. 'I remember in 2000 there was a group of eight trainees with only one male. Certainly that was an unusual year, but it is not unusual for us to have a good ratio of women to men in IT.'
When Standard Life take people on at trainee level, it has no shortage of female candidates, perhaps because it does not just advertise for IT graduates.
Young says the financial firm is looking for people with aptitude and attitude that accord with what the organisation requires – and it is quite prepared to train them, so new recruits do not have to come from a technology background.
The ratio of women to men seems to have been static, meanwhile. Young says he has not seen any changes during his five-year tenure at the firm. However, an unfortunate change occurred last Christmas when Young's only female direct report left to work in another part of the business.
'All my six direct reports are now male, we replaced the one female with another male who was hired again on the basis of merit,' says Young.
And even when a woman gets to director level, a report by the Institute of Directors in November found that female executives are still getting paid less than their male colleagues.
A female director now earns an average of £60,000 compared with the average male director's basic pay of £74,028.
Heather Campbell is one of the few women at the top of UK IT. She joined banking giant Barclays last September as chief operating officer within Barclays' chief information office.
As a senior IT professional in the banking world she believes that being a woman has made no difference to her career progression, although she says in her experience financial services are better in that regard.
'What I found in the world of IT is what is really important is your credibility, the knowledge that you have a learning mindset,' says Campbell. 'Even from a very junior position I have managed to get the respect of people because I pay attention to such things like that, so I don't think that being a woman has made any difference to my career.'
Despite her own experience she does believe that the industry could do a better job of getting out to the emerging workforce at a younger age and talking about careers in IT.
The government has recognised the need to communicate the benefits of a career in the IT industry, launching the Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) taskforce in 2002.
The initiative seeks to address the declining numbers of women joining the science engineering and technology sector with a variety of different programmes and grants, right down to school level.
In 2004 a UK resource centre for women in SET was launched through a consortium comprising Bradford College, Sheffield Hallam University, the Open University and the WiSETi Project of Cambridge University.
The government has now committed a total of £6.9m through 2004 to 2008 for the operation of the centre – £1.5m of the funding for ring-fenced activities specifically to help women wishing to return to SET careers.
Brenda McMillan, director of project delivery at high street bank Lloyds TSB, took an eight-year career break when she became a mother. Now reporting to the group CIO and managing a £360m portfolio and 1,800 staff clearly demonstrates that taking a break was to prove no fatal blow to her career. She recognises, however, that she has had to work for her opportunities.
'I think it was a little bit harder to come up through the ranks because I took a career break to be a wife and mother,' says McMillan. But her success may lie in the perception she has of herself as a businesswoman that manages technology, even if she started off as a pure technologist.
McMillan has three women directly reporting to her out of a management team of seven and believes women should be fostering the talents of other women where appropriate, though not through positive discrimination.
'I think there are lots of really exceptional women out there not being given the right opportunities – it is very easy to get really good women,' she says.
It is not a matter of opportunities not being made available, but more a case of women allowing themselves opportunities, according to McMillan.
'I think women are a little reluctant to market themselves,' she says. 'And I do think there is something to the old adage of men making slightly more of their abilities than women do.'

|Analysis and use of fragment-occurrence data in similarity-based virtual screening.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19536456 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Current systems for similarity-based virtual screening use similarity measures in which all the fragments in a fingerprint contribute equally to the calculation of structural similarity. This paper discusses the weighting of fragments on the basis of their frequencies of occurrence in molecules. Extensive experiments with sets of active molecules from the MDL Drug Data Report and the World of Molecular Bioactivity databases, using fingerprints encoding Tripos holograms, Pipeline Pilot ECFC_4 circular substructures and Sunset Molecular keys, demonstrate clearly that frequency-based screening is generally more effective than conventional, unweighted screening. The results suggest that standardising the raw occurrence frequencies by taking the square root of the frequencies will maximise the effectiveness of virtual screening. An upper-bound analysis shows the complex interactions that can take place between representations, weighting schemes and similarity coefficients when similarity measures are computed, and provides a rationalisation of the relative performance of the various weighting schemes.

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraq's prime minister is pushing the idea that the U.S. departure is in sight in a bid to sell the security deal with Washington to Iran.
To reinforce the message, the Iraqis are asking for changes to the deal that would effectively rule out extending the U.S. military presence beyond 2011.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his allies are also describing the agreement not as a formula for long-term U.S.-Iraqi security cooperation - the original goal when the talks began earlier this year - but as a way to manage the U.S. withdrawal.
It's unclear whether this will be enough to win over the Iranians and Iraqi critics - or whether the U.S. will go along with the demands submitted by the Iraqi Cabinet this week.
The Iraqis want expanded Iraqi jurisdiction over U.S. troops and elimination of a clause that could allow the soldiers to stay past a tentative Dec. 31, 2011 deadline.
Iran strongly opposes the agreement, fearing it could lead to U.S. troops remaining in a neighboring country indefinitely.
With Iranian sensitivities in mind, the Iraqis also want an explicit ban on the U.S. using Iraqi territory to attack its neighbors - a demand that was reinforced by last Sunday's U.S. raid against a suspected al-Qaida hideout in Syria.
If Washington won't bend, key Iraqi politicians believe the deal will never win parliament's approval. U.S. diplomats are studying the proposals, and Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said a response is expected by Wednesday.
But some U.S. officials in Washington have privately expressed doubts about chances to reach an agreement before the U.N. mandate authorizing the U.S. mission expires at the end of next month.
Without an agreement or a new U.N. mandate, the U.S. military would have to suspend all security and assistance operations in Iraq.
Privately, many Iraqi lawmakers believe they still need the 145,000 U.S. troops because Iraq's own army and police aren't be ready to replace them. Some U.S. commanders privately doubt they would even be ready by 2012.
But many of the sectarian and ethnically based parties are reluctant to take a stand, fearing a backlash among Iraqis who are anxious to see an end to the U.S. presence.
The biggest Shiite party must also factor in the strong opposition of Shiite-dominated Iran, its patron even before the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime in 2003.
For years the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, which controls 30 of the 275 parliament seats, has carefully nurtured close ties not only with Iran but with the United States.
The party was founded in Iran by Iraqi Shiite exiles during Saddam's rule. After the 2003 invasion, the Supreme Council cooperated with the U.S. to solidify Shiite political dominance here.
Al-Maliki's own Shiite party, Dawa, the major Sunni bloc and many Shiite independent legislators have all been waiting for the Supreme Council to take a stand on the agreement before announcing their positions.
In the last three days, al-Maliki and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker have met separately with the head of the Supreme Council, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, presumably to lobby for the deal.
After meeting Thursday with al-Hakim, the prime minister told government television that "we don't call it a security pact but an agreement to withdraw the troops and organize their activities during the period of their presence in Iraq."
Some leading members of the Supreme Council have said privately they believe Iraq needs the agreement to shore up the security gains of the past 18 months.
But they also find themselves in a bind: supporting the agreement could brand them "traitors" and rejecting it would make them look like Iranian puppets.
The Supreme Council faces a strong challenge in southern Iraq by supporters of anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who rejects the deal. Council members fear the Sadrists could use support for the deal against them in next year's provincial elections, threatening their main power base.
Council members believe they would fare better if the U.S. accepts the amendments.
"We support the amendments that the Iraqi Cabinet has approved for the proposed security agreement," Shiite cleric and council member Sadralddin al-Qubanji sad Friday.
If the Americans agree to the changes, then the draft "will be referred to the Iraqi parliament to approve it," he said.
Some U.S. officials say there is a chance that some of the Iraqi proposals could be accommodated. But demands for more control over American troops are a "red line" for the Bush administration and Congress.
Failure to win agreement would be a huge embarrassment for President Bush in the waning days of his administration that was largely defined by the war.

After asking for suggestions about getting a thread out of a bobbin case, I got some great suggestions about items for the sewing kit. I'm not talking about thread and scissors, but more unusual things. I always have bandaids. Between pins and the rotary cutter I use one at least once a week. And my favorite sharpie marker. Yes, I trace anything where it won't show with a sharpie. So what do you folks have in the sewing kit that is a little unusual?
I always have a lint roller. Actually have several in the sewing area, one by machine, one in cutting area, etc.
I have a cheap little paint brush - the kind kids use w/ water colors. It's about 1/4" wide. I use it to brush away lint around my needle, feed dogs, and presser foot, and inside the bobbin case when I change bobbins.
The lint tends to stick to the end and I can get it off easily by squeezing and sliding my fingers off the brush end. I'm always surprised by how much it picks up.
I have blue painters tape.
Use it to mark the wrong side of fabrics, pick up threads, as a guideline on my sewing machine. It leaves no residue unless of course I iron over it.
I use little black office pinch clips instead of pins for thicker items and to hold glued things in place.
Long hemostat-type scissors from the Fishing Dept. (meant for tying flies!) work for turning tubes and poking out collar points. Save those free chopsticks for the same.
Also tweezers, dental floss, kids chalk, and various-sized straws.
I forgot about the office clips, I got those originally for holding things I shouldn't pin.. And the hemostat, I love that thing! I usually use those for turning things. I got the hemostat idea from Pattern Review, I've gotten more great ideas from this board.
Paintbrush here too!
Long thin bamboo skewer for reaching into machines, pulling thread behind needle(s), turning, guiding tricky seams on serger, pinching down the middle of a gathered area as it sews so it doesn't become a pucker.
Chopstick - heavy duty version of skewer. And good for turning.
Mechanics Mirror
Pipe cleaners.
Painter's tape. Among other uses, I keep a piece on the machine bed and jot down the current needle in the machine.
Miniature set of offset screwdrivers. Example of offset screwdrivers.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Updated and reposted.
I started a similar post a few years ago with regard to machine embroidery. Some items may cross over for machine sewing.
Mini screw drivers for removing the screws in the needle plate.
Magnifying glass.
Cotton swabs.
Painter's Blue Tape or Frog Tape.
Lint rollers.
Compressed Air. Yes I do blast lint and fuzzies from the machines, just not directly into the mechanics.
Card board bottoms from bottled water (make good trays for scrap sorting).
Glue sticks (prefer aleene tacky glue sticks).
Baggies (for storing opened glue bottles or those school glue sticks that some may prefer so they do not dry out.
Turn table with sectioned tray for items most used (pens, chalks, glue, small rulers).
Magnetic tray for tweezers, scissors, seam rippers.
Magnet pin cushions for the obvious.
Magnetic wand to collect fallen pins.
Thread catchers to catch snips. You can make these.
Mugs to hold thread when a particular spool does not feed well from the spool pin.
Thread stand if the mug does not work.
Mugs to hold pencils and other marking items.
TV (wall mount).
Bed for dog.
Heater for colder weather (sewing area is in finished basement, but still cooler than I sometimes prefer).
Fan for warmer weather.
Light Box.
Small refrigerator for bottled water (that's how I got all those empty carton bottoms).
Stairs for exercise (joking) no bath in the basement, so up and down we (dog and I) go.
Comfortable/adjustable chair for each machine station.
Vacuum cleaner.
Cutting table with two large cutting mats joined together.
Hangers on one end of table for acrylic rotary cutting rulers.
Marble Tile - don't remember why I though I needed one...I think it is a cast off from my husband's leather crafting.
Multiple plastic totes for storing fabrics that have been sorted by type and color.
Rolling storage units for patterns, thread, assorted elastic.
Bookcases for multiple sewing, quilting and machine embroidery publications.
Grace quilting table that makes a good place to hang fabric when sorting.
Okay, this was not accomplished overnight and maybe some of the above is not unusual.
I am occupying 95% of the basement when the storage area is included. I don't know if I should smile or cry. Some day this all has to go.
I see a super-duper yard sale in my future!

I keep a lint roller handy, too. Also have large and small "hemostats". A plastic handheld magnifier that was a loyalty gift from some business in my hometown-Grandma kept it at her bedside. A bone bodkin she used-I use it to thread ribbons, thin elastic, etc through casings, bring up bobbin thread, turn corners, nudge things under the presser foot into place.

I hope to meet you Mac as I've heard from another person (3CupsN9) that you are a game worn collector. Hopefully there will be a plethora of fans there. I know in the past there have been people who bitched and moaned over Rolston and hopefully those people just stay home. It should be a good outing and hopefully meet a fellow Devils collector. PM me and I'll tell you when and where I'll be in line if you are interested in meeting.
Modest collection. We met kind of at the expo over the summer. But I'll try and stop by. We'll be there early so we can get over to Salvador.

text: MGM Wants to Blow Up Never-Opened Vegas Hotel Casino company abandoning costly project By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Aug 18, 2011 1:33 PM CDT | Updated Aug 21, 2011 11:54 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (22) (Newser) – Hotel implosions aren't exactly unheard of in Las Vegas, but it's not every day the condemned is a brand-new, never-opened luxury tower. MGM on Monday submitted a request to the county office to implode Harmon Tower, a luxury hotel that was supposed to be the crown jewel in the Strip's $9 billion CityCenter project, the Wall Street Journal reports. It's been derailed because of multiple construction problems; engineers say it couldn't withstand an earthquake. MGM says blowing the tower up is the quickest, safest way to resolve the issue, even though the contractors building the tower—who are locked in a legal battle with MGM—say they could fix it. "In this economy, MGM resorts clearly has no interest in completing the tower," the Las Vegas Review-Journal observes in an editorial. "Perhaps the implosion of the Harmon could be promoted as an offering to end the curse of this recession." In this Jan. 14, 2009 file photo of The Harmon tower, center left, is shown at the construction site of CityCenter in Las Vegas. (AP Photo/Jae C.

Carly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly's strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn't plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 40 plus novels. Because writing doesn't keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of two daughters, and the primary care giver of her dogs, one Wheaten terrier named Bailey and a Havanese named Brady.

Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it's been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can't imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

By all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That's probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she's sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. She's currently embracing independent publishing under the moniker, Bookgoddess. (Did you know Leto was a Greek goddess? Now you do!) Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

The Nine New TV Shows We'll Be Watching Next Season
This week, the major TV networks rolled out all their new shows for next season – and as usual, there are a lot of duds coming our way. (Did CBS not know there's already an awesome "Sherlock" reboot on PBS before greenlighting "Elementary"?) But we still managed to find a few shows that look to be worth at least a one-episode tryout. Here are the nine new shows we're making room for in our busy viewing schedules.
"The Mindy Project" (Fox, Tuesdays at 9:30 PM)
Mindy Kaling, always one of our favorite Dunder Mifflin worker bees, gets her own Fox comedy this fall – and Fox must like it, too, because they're putting it in the coveted post-"New Girl" timeslot. Kaling plays a hopelessly romantic OB/GYN who dreams of being swept off her feet in classic rom-com fashion; Chris Messina ("Damages") plays the doctor she'll fight being attracted to for a few seasons before inevitably giving in. We're happy to see Kaling get a much-deserved shot at stardom, and she even got a few big names to make cameos here, including "SNL's" Bill Hader and her "Office" co-star Ed Helms. So we're cautiously optimistic. Terrible title, though. Just awful.
[Photos: Check Out All of Fox's New Shows]
"The Following" (Fox, midseason)
Kevin Bacon takes on his first starring TV role in this dark, nail-bitingly tense drama as a former FBI agent who years ago put away a demented serial killer (James Purefoy, last seen as Victoria's sex buddy on "Revenge"). But now that killer has busted out of prison and is on the rampage again – and may be recruiting disciples to do his gruesome bidding. It's a grim, "Seven"-esque thriller that looks to pack plenty of jaw-dropping twists, and Bacon's star power (he commands the screen like Kiefer Sutherland in "24" here) puts this one over the top for us.
"Nashville" (ABC, Wednesdays at 10 PM)
Connie Britton! We fell in love with her on "Friday Night Lights" and that love only grew with "American Horror Story," so her starring role here makes this country-music soap an automatic "yes" for us. Britton plays an aging country star forced to pair up with a vapid young starlet (Hayden Panettiere, coming off like an even-trashier Miley Cyrus) to salvage her career. (Well, we already know Britton can deliver a Southern twang.) Yeah, the young-pup-vs.-old-veteran conflict is a little played out, but the Nashville setting adds some fresh juice to it. And we'll tune in just on the off-chance that we get to see Connie smack the crap out of Hayden.
[Photos: Check Out All of NBC's New Shows]
"Last Resort" (ABC, Thursdays at 8 PM)
Two of our favorites, Andre Braugher ("Homicide") and Scott Speedman ("Felicity"), headline this compelling, Tom Clancy-ish thriller about the crew of a nuclear submarine that disobeys orders to fire on innocent civilians and ends up getting attacked by its own country. Braugher plays the sub's righteous captain; Speedman plays his loyal second-in-command. Seeking refuge, they plant their flag on an idyllic tropical island (shades of "Lost"), declaring their independence from the U.S. government. A crazy premise, to be sure, but the sharp writing by "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan helps sell it. And Braugher and Speedman make a great enough duo that we'll tune in to see where this ship is headed.
[Photos: Check Out All of ABC's New Shows]
"Partners" (CBS, Mondays at 8:30 PM)
Being TV's #1 network, CBS is in the enviable position of not needing many new shows. But it does have a few fresh offerings for fall, including this gay-straight odd couple sitcom. (Thanks to "Modern Family's" Mitch and Cam, gay is the new black this fall.) This one comes from gay-TV pioneers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan (who created "Will & Grace") and mirrors their real-life relationship; "Ugly Betty's" Michael Urie and "Numb3rs" star David Krumholtz play best friends and business partners: one gay, one straight. We like the two leads (we've missed Urie terribly since "Ugly Betty" ended), and the gay-straight dynamic gives this show a modern sheen that CBS is sorely lacking.
[Photos: Check Out All of CBS's New Shows]
"Revolution" (NBC, Mondays at 10 PM)
This new sci-fi drama from J.J. Abrams poses an interesting question: What would our world look like without electricity? (We'd be out of a job, for one thing.) "Revolution" begins with a mysterious worldwide event that results in all electrical devices ceasing to work, and then flashes forward 15 years to the post-apocalyptic world that follows, with people growing food in hollowed-out cars and roving militias jockeying for control. The recent track record for this kind of high-concept drama isn't great (see: "Terra Nova"), but the premise is intriguing enough to rope us in. Plus, it involves Giancarlo Esposito (aka "Breaking Bad's" Gus Fring) being a badass on a horse, so needless to say, we're sold.

You just got the good news: you're pregnant. Your life now will be filled with changes in your body, your emotions, and your lifestyle. What you do during the next few months will help shape your baby's health, and you should consult with your doctor regularly to make sure everything is going smoothly.
Here at Woman's Hospital, we know how important prenatal care is, and our Maternity Services include a variety of classes to help make your pregnancy a safe one for both you and your baby.
Want some advice about what you should and shouldn't do during your pregnancy? Here are some tips from the Office on Women's Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
If you smoke cigarettes, quit. Each puff you take sends dangerous chemicals into your baby, and smoking increases the chances of miscarriage. Talk to your doctor if you need help giving up the nicotine habit.
Don't drink alcohol or take illegal drugs. As with cigarettes, harmful chemicals from these substances pass from your body into your baby's. Giving them up completely is the best way to ensure your baby develops as it should.
Eat right. Those two simple words that suggest a range of things to do and things to avoid:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Wash your hands after handling raw meat.
- Follow a nutritious diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and calcium-enriched food. Consult with your doctor about whether you should also take vitamin and/or iron supplements.
- Don't eat swordfish, shark, or other fish known to be high in mercury, a poisonous metal.
- Don't eat raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, or shellfish.
- Don't eat soft cheeses (bleu cheese, brie) if you're not sure that they're made from pasteurized milk.
- For more on how to eat right, see "Food Don'ts,"
Stay active. Don't limit your physical activity unless your doctor tells you to.
Watch your weight. Gaining weight during pregnancy is normal, of course, but you don't want to put on too much. Your doctor can tell you the right amount of weight to gain, to ensure your baby's proper development and prevent possible complications. Controlling your weight now will also make it easier for you to lose those extra pounds after your delivery.
Get a flu shot. Getting the flu while pregnant could be bad news for you and your baby.
Get a good night's sleep. Being comfortable might be tricky as your baby grows, so try putting pillows under your belly or between your legs to find the position that helps you sleep. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night.
If you own a cat, don't change the litter box. A parasite that causes the infection toxoplasmosis sometimes lurks in the litter.
Pregnancy presents certain physical challenges, but you, your doctor, and the caring professionals at Woman's Hospital can work together to make sure your baby gets a healthy start to life.

Central baseball
Bobcats edged in extra innings
The Central Bobcats saw their four-game District 2-5A winning streak snapped in extra innings on the road at Lubbock Coronado.
The Mustangs scored the game-tying run with two outs in the seventh and the game-winning run in the eighth to edge Central 2-1 at O'Banion Field.
Central lefty Josh Sawyer was the tough-luck loser in the pitchers duel, throwing 7.1 innings, striking out 10 and yielding both runs on five hits.
Reese Montgomery knocked in the lone run for the Bobcats in the loss, which gave Central a 1-0 lead after the first inning.
The Bobcats held that advantage until the last of the seventh when Coronado rallied to force extras and win the game.
Central fell to 18-7 overall and 5-2 in district with the loss and hosts Odessa Permian on Tuesday to close the first half of district play.

The Central High School softball team was routed 10-0 Saturday by a Lubbock Coronado team that's ranked No. 3 in the state and No. 10 nationally.
Coronado scored four runs in the second inning, one in the third and five in the fifth to end the game early due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Central was held to just two hits, one of which was a double by Shelly Picasso.
The Lady Cats fell to 6-16-1 overall, 2-6 in District 2-5A, while Coronado moved to 23-1, 8-0.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Moshe Ohayon founded the Louisville Tutoring Agency in St. Matthews in 2005, attracting students from families who can afford to pay up to $100 per hour for extra help to get through school or to prepare for college entrance exams.
In the evenings, Ohayon volunteered at the Catholic Enrichment Center in western Louisville, tutoring less well-off students who, he found, had significant lapses in understanding of basic concepts.
Those students didn't have the resources to pay for years of one-on-one tutoring.
So three years ago, Ohayon started Educational Justice, a nonprofit that provides, for free, a small group of disadvantaged students in Louisville with the same rigorous, multiyear tutoring that his students in the tutoring agency receive.

Sabaton -- West Springfield, VA -- May 21st, 2012
(a bit late since bogged down w/ work)
I Went to see
@ Empire (Jaxx). Got some cheap tickets from local favourites
A Sound of Thunder
, so that was even better. About one hundred people were there (kind of a poor turnout, but it was a Monday and it was raining earlier). The good part about that was that there was plenty of personal space then! I think attendance may have also been affected by the show in Baltimore the previous night. I don't know how that show was how many people went to that one, but a couple people who did go then were here too!
As we got there, we heard some sort of string music, sounding like masterpiece theatre. Very surreal. I think it was the...interesting... choice of opening band 'Amphibious Apes' some sort of avant /indie band. We stayed in the hallway and chatted with Josh from
Eventually we made our way in to see what merch there was and um drinks of course.
had some CDs, including their double live (all $15@), so I made a note to get that one later. They had 3 patches for $10@, and some t shirts that I didn't think were particularly interesting.
had their usual stuff and some new wristband. I think I was expecting more shirts for
came on a little after 8:30 and played until about 9:20 or so. They played mostly newer stuff (which was mostly fine cause their new album is very good). At one point, Nina (singer) demanded to see the best windmill. I had no chance, but a, with hair down to her waist was a sure winner. Another girl who looks like she doesn't go to metal shows was pretty active and they threw her a shirt. I think that was fine cause I'm pretty sure they were like 'hey, lets make a new fan.' We already come to all the shows :3
sounded good as usual, but their set seemed shorter than usual.
when played their opening intro (
's "The Final Countdown", I'm sure other people were singing along we me... I think). They stormed out to the stage with energy equal to if not more than last year's performance (at Jaxx). With that much anticipation and energy flowing i don't see how anyone would not have a great time! They sounded good from the right side of the floor, but then I went to my usual back/middle spot and the sound was a lot more even. I was headbanging constantly.
Setlist wise, it was good to have some different songs from last time, but I really wanted to hear "Screamin' Eagles"
Regardless, it was a pretty well rounded set. Some of their songs work very well with the crowd participation ("Swedish Pagans"). I mean there was so much positive energy that they got me jumping up an down ("Primo Victoria" I think) and *very* briefly in the pit ("Attero Dominatus" I think). They played the same thing that they did on the rest of this leg of the tour
had a bunch of new people (google for the band drama), but I detected no weak links. On oddities-
There was what looked to be a faux vagina (part of a fleshlight?) on one of their mic stands
There was a huge stuffed orange animal that the singer was holding up at one point on stage near the end
a roadie w/ a sombrero stumbled on the stage during "Metal Crue"
the singer put on some shirt that someone threw up at the stage (a um Saw IV shirt I think), soaked it with his sweat and threw it back
Getting a shout out during "Metal Crue"
My favourite part- during "Metal Crue," near the end, the singer got up on the monitor and is looking out on the crowd, and points at me and My Rainbow- "Long Live Rock N Roll" shirt and motions back and forth across his chest (indicating he's seeing /reading my shirt)- and "the RAINBOW takes you Home!" Since "Metal Crue" is one of their tribute songs to other bands they like/were influenced from and RAINBOW is one of those bands, it was a nice touch. I was totally marking out after that \m/
I think all had a great time. I was totally still pumped the next day from this \m/
A Sound of Thunder
Tubular Bells intro
? (older song..Walls?)
Fight til the end
Night Witch
Calat Alhambra
Murderous Horde
Out of the Dark
A Sound of Thunder
The Final Countdown (intro tape \m/)
Intro: The March to War
Ghost Division
Cliffs of Gallipoli
The Art of War
Into the Fire
Carolus Rex
Swedish Pagans

We are: [MYO] - Meet Your Owners
We are a group of 50+ members that love to play BO2 on PS3! Having fun while owning is what we do and what we want from our members as well. By working together using strategy, teamwork and skill we are able to take on any challenge and give it our all. All we ask from our members is that they stay active on our clan website (Which is currently only a temporary board), play a couple times a week and participate in clan ops. We are also trying to get members to sign up for a chat service that is like AIM, its called Xfire. This is a great way for us to communicate and chat it up while we are not gaming. There is a download link on our website. Our goal is to build long lasting friendships as well as strong teams as we begin to get to know one another better.
So if you are still interested in joining our clan there are a few rules/expectations that we have for our members and staff:
Play with Class
Be active!
Check the website daily for updates
Play in clan ops
Respect the Council Members and other members
Have fun and Pwn!
We do aim to have to have a more mature clan but we figure that does not just mean age. This also means how we act in game and on boards. If someone is 21 but are very immature, well they can find another clan. If someone is 14 but hold themselves to a higher standard, well then welcome aboard. Age is but a number, maturity is so much more.
If you wish to know more about our clan or have questions please feel free to visit us at our temporary web domain: http://praxisdesigns.org or fill out the application at: http://praxisdesigns.org/index.php?topic=10.0
You can also email our Clan Leader with other inquiries at email@example.com (He goes by CANADA109) or the clan OverSeer at firstname.lastname@example.com (He goes by xOSHx)
Thank you for your time!
- MYO Recruitment Council

Tap Water Isn't Good Enough
by Rocky
posted Mar 10 2014 6:15PM
Jennifer Aniston feels that tap water isn't good enough for her dogs, she only gives them $2/bottle designer water.
Crazy? I deal with a similar situation in our house. Sue doesn't think dog food is good enough for our guys. She insists on mixing in people food like ground turkey, hamburger or even rotisserie chicken. She'll even bring home a kiddie ice cream cone for them to share.
I'm not totally innocent. When I leave the house I'll keep music or Animal Planet on for them. But that's about it.
What kind of EXTREME THINGS do you do for your pets?
Here's a few texts from today's show--
--I bake my dogs cookies! They love the applesauce/cinnamon ones!
--I have to agree with Jennifer Aniston. A few years ago both of our dogs contracted giardiasis from the tapwater. I'm very reluctant anymore to give them tapwater that is not filtered
--My friend had a chihuahua that she won't let walk. She carries it in a little purse.
--My grandmother cooked her shih tzu steak and eggs for breakfast every morning. We got cereal or oatmeal.
--My chow-pom is 6yrs old--never even tasted dog food strictly what we eat she eats and once a week she gets a bath, blowdry & pedicure and litterly jumps in the tub and stays stil thru the whole procedure all the way til the french manicure drys!!!
--My aunt only feeds her dog oven roasted rotisserie chicken and it can only be Perdue, no other brands or kind plus only filtered water. She says the dog won't eat anything else. She's been going it for 8 years now
--My dad's girlfriend will choose her menu item specifically so she can bring leftovers for her dog when they go out.
--My uncle's dog eats at the table and has whatever theyre having. Steaks, burgers, ice cream, he has it all. I dont think hes had dog food since he was adopted.
--My dog does not eat any dog food. If we go to McDonald's, he gets a hamburger. If we make pork chops, he gets his own pork chop. He has a full wardrobe as well! Including a stroller!
--My friend buys frozen marrow bones from the grocery store- it's like a Popsicle but once it starts to thaw it looks like a murder scene
--I have a golden and on days i wear a head band or a tshirt his bandana matches me. We have to match.

Forever Young Foundation is rocking their world...
Primary Children's Hospital has opened their doors to unveil our first Sophie's Place, established in loving memory of singer, songwriter and friend, Sophie Barton. We are pleased to say that Music Therapy is blessing the children being treated there. Sophie often sang in hospitals because she understood music's power to heal. Sophie's Place's are dedicated music therapy facilities built in children's hospitals. These special spaces care for young people suffering from pain, chronic illness, and serious injury.
While most people know music has an extraordinary power to bring comfort and peace to the soul, recent clinical studies have proven that music therapy offers a non-invasive treatment providing evidence based beneficial effects on young hospital patients.
"We honor Sophie's life and commitment to music through the creation of Sophie's Place, to help share the healing power of music with children in hospitals throughout the country and around the world. Barb and I invite people across America to join us in this important new initiative for Forever Young Foundation."

Summer is time for high school basketball squads to experiment, and so far the Grain Valley boys team is doing so successfully.
Summer is time for high school basketball squads to experiment, and so far the Grain Valley boys team is doing so successfully.
Utilizing a bigger lineup than the Eagles have had in years, coach Andy Herbert's team went 9-3 and made it to the championship game at a Mizzou team camp the team attended this past week in Columbia.
"The kids looked really good," Herbert said. "We've got a bigger team than we've had in a long time, probably since I've been here. We got to see the guys in positions they haven't been in before."
The Eagles return five lettermen – Daniel and Jordan Mahurin, Hunter Ramirez, Cody Zeigler and Hunter Domsch – who all stand at least 6-foot-2 except for Jordan Mahurin.
"We're trying to do some different things," Herbert said. "We're trying to utilize a more post-oriented system and play inside out instead of the other way around, which we're not accustomed to.
"We definitely liked what we saw down there."
William Chrisman also attended the camp, although Brett Pendergist was the only returning varsity player who made the trip. Although Chrisman took its lumps, Pendergist impressed first-year coach Chad Wright.
"Brett looked real good," Wright said. "He got up and down the floor extremely well. It was good for him to be one of the main scoring options. He looked to score a little more and was handling the ball a lot too."
Wright's still getting a feel for his new team, but he's optimistic about what he's seen so far. After playing a pressing, uptempo style the past several years under John Vickers, Wright said the Bears will implement a more traditional system.
"We're definitely going to be different than what they've been playing," Wright said. "We want to be more focused on more fundamental half-court defense and limiting teams to one shot and do a little more inside-out type stuff on offense."
CHRISMAN GIRLS IMPRESSING: It's hard to imagine an area team having a more productive offseason than the William Chrisman girls. The Bears have posted a 14-0 mark in summer-league games so far despite losing 85 percent of their scoring with the graduation of all-state forward Nieka Wheeler as well as starting shooting guard Sykeya Horn and backup point guard Andrea Quarles.
"This is the most coachable team I've ever put on the floor," Chrisman coach Lindsay Thompson said. "They're more committed to sharing the ball and making the extra pass than any group of young women I've ever seen. They've just been a joy to coach."
Thompson said junior guard Asia Young has emerged as a breakout candidate and also has been impressed with freshmen Adreon Bell and Bri Burns.
Page 2 of 2 - "Everyone's just so excited to get out and play every day and they all play extraordinarily hard," Thompson said. "Last year, we had some really rocky moments as a team. This year, I don't think that we will."

Finding confidence in the lab
In the fall of 2008, Deborah Thurtle '08 will start a molecular cell biology doctoral program at UC Berkeley. And though the work undoubtedly will be challenging, she knows she's starting out with a solid background in research and excellent lab skills—things she gained as an undergraduate at Santa Clara.
As a biology major, with a minor in chemistry and biotechnology, Thurtle worked with Associate Biology Professor Craig Stephens researching a bacteria called Caulobacter crescentus. The bacteria can break down plant cellulose—something that could be very useful for future biofuel technology.
Thurtle's efforts in the lab were focused on analyzing the genes that regulate the bacteria's metabolism. "I like the problem-solving aspects of research, figuring out answers to questions that haven't been asked before," she says. "I had thought coming in as a freshman that I wanted to do research. This experience helped me solidify that."
And the experience has given her a lot of confidence. "From this, I knew I could go into a lab and figure out the problem and execute the solution. This helped me not feel intimidated about going into grad school," she says.
Currently in biology Ph.D. program at UC Berkeley

I was only 50 meters short of making the mile under 6 minutes last night. This morning, my legs feel like they are going to fall out. I love it!
The last and really only time that I have run a mile under 6 minutes (5:58) was back in high school, during a track meet my senior year. It was the perfect race. It was my last event of the day, it had been raining on and off all morning, I felt exhausted after running the 800 and the 1600 relay, plus all the warm up drills before each event. I was feeling drained, not really wanting to run the mile, my coach pretty much forced me into running this last event, after all I was a distance runner . The gun went off and then the magic happened. I crossed the line and there it was on the stop watch: 5:58. That night I slept for 10 hours straight, with a big smile on my face. I need to get back my sub-6 mile time .
Last night, during our 6minute time trial I was only 50meters from the mile mark by the time the stopwatch hit 6 minutes. Legs were going strong, lungs were burning, core was tight and strong, but I started my kick a few seconds too late. I'm thinking a sub-6 minute mile will also give some more sub-20 min 5K, sub-1:30 half, sub-330 marathon, and sub-30 10K...maybe im just thinking crazy but last night's work out has really inspired me to keep pushing my limits. I'm 26 years old, and i think i still have much untapped speed waiting to come out.
Happy Running!
Cristina R.
Wow! That is so fast! Congrats!
Keep working and I'm sure you will get that sub-6!
I can't drive that fast
Your day is what you make of it
So close! Keep at it!
26 years old. You've got at least 10 years to improve.
Go get it! I am shooting for sub-6 and sub-20 myself. Let's race!
Thats awesome!! keep at it!
Perhaps you should have ran a couple of races before going for a sub-6
Keep at it--you will get it!
Go for it! The mile is a pretty different beast. I've found you really need to train specifically for it to really reduce your times.
