Also in EJB 2:
Unlocking the True Power of Entity EJBs
Stateful Session EJBs: Beasts of Burden
EJB 2 and J2EE Packaging, Part II
In my last article I wrote about some potential ambiguities that may exist with dependent objects. In this article I want to focus on some rumored solutions to the dependent objects issues.
In my last article I mentioned that I was not aware of any application server that supported dependent objects in their implementation. A clever reader pointed out that the Orion Server 1.2.9 might support dependent objects. After following up, I learned that the Orion Server does have beta support for an EJB 2.0 container and CMP entity beans, but there isn't any reference to an implementation of dependent objects.
ObjectFrontier has released ePersistJ, a development, deployment, and runtime engine for EJB 2.0, which has very extensive runtime support for the public draft EJB 2.0 specification, including dependent objects, object navigation with active and lazy loading, support for a variety of application servers, and distributed object caching.
I've heard a variety of rumors about the EJB 2.0 specification. The biggest rumor is that the dependent object portion of the specification is under review and will be modified in the near future.
I've heard all kinds of interesting rumors and proposed recommendations to better clarify the role of dependent objects with entity EJBs. In particular:
I have heard of the possibility of incorporating local interfaces into the EJB specification. Their exact usage at this point is unclear, but I'll take a guess at their intent. Right now, session and entity beans have remote interfaces that require any methods listed in that interface to be accessed through RMI. This is typically RMI/JRMP or RMI/IIOP. An EJB with a local interface would have methods that are accessible by reference and bypass any RMI networking semantics, creating an interesting dilemma. Any object that accesses the local interface of an EJB would likely have to be resident in the same virtual machine as the EJB's container. In particular, how does an EJB container enforce a local method invocation, and how does an EJB with local methods behave in a clustered environment? Additionally, do local methods interface with persistence managers and persistent attributes differently than remote methods? Local interfaces appear to be a possible solution for an implementation of local objects, but it is vague as to whether they provide a fine-grained persistent object implementation and support any life cycle characteristics.
The final rumor I'm presenting appears to be more of a quick
fix patch given the current CMP implementation. Since the EJB
specification already supports an implementation of the
<method> tag for identifying a specific method in
the home or remote interface of an EJB, for defining security and
transaction attributes, this tag could be used to provide a
pseudo-implementation for local interfaces. Since developers are
already familiar with implementing remote interfaces for entity EJBs,
why bother changing the way they are currently developed? The
ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor could be extended to
identify those methods that are listed in the remote or home interface
that should be accessible remotely, locally, or through both
techniques by using the
<method> tag. For example,
<assembly-descriptor> tag could be extended to
<!--Security and transaction attributes defined here as always -->
<method> <!--Already exists in DTD specification -->
Using this format, any method in the remote interface could be accessible locally (by reference only), remotely (the default and over RMI) or both (by reference, if being accessed by an object in the same VM, otherwise remotely). It's pretty easy to see how this technique could be a superset of the local interface technique described above (unless local interfaces are much more robust than indicated in this article).
Additionally, dependent object-like behavior can be achieved using this technique. Since the EJB relationship technique is relatively well understood, and EJB-QL is robust enough to navigate relationships, a developer could implement a local persistent object quite easily. The developer would merely create a CMP entity EJB that participates in a relationship with another CMP entity EJB. The deployer would then set all of the methods to be accessed locally using the <local-methods> tag listed above. The parent CMP entity EJB that is participating in this relationship could recognize that the other object is only accessible locally and implement it as a dependent object. The only drawback to this solution is that since entity EJBs are required to have a primary key, this implementation could not support local persistent objects that didn't have an identity. This would defeat the purpose of dependent objects as they are currently implemented since they are designed to work with and without primary keys.
Whatever solution the EJB specification authors choose for dependent objects will likely be closely scrutinized. I've heard that most of the major application server vendors that participate in the EJB expert group are making individual recommendations as to possible solutions beyond those discussed here. By the release of the next article, it is likely that a new version of the EJB specification will be released for all of us to see.

Vt mom takes FDA fight to Washington
RUTLAND The mother of two Saxtons River boys who have a rare terminal illness who launched an online campaign last year to gain access to a lifesaving drug is taking her fight to Congress.
Jennifer McNary is in Washington, D.C., today to present a petition with more than 170,000 signatures to the Food and Drug Administration, urging it expedite the approval of the drug eteplirsen. It has been called a miracle drug by families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disorder in which a mutation causes the lost of dystrophin, a large-structure protein that protects muscle fibers.
We are excited for the support we have received, said McNary during a phone interview Tuesday.
She will be joined by several families also affected by DMD and by Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., during a news conference today at the Rayburn House Office Building in hopes of moving the FDA to approve the drug.
Fitzpatrick said in a statement: I have reached out to the FDA and urged them to consider placing these drugs into their Accelerated Approval Program. This program prioritizes the approval of the most effective drugs to provide greater relief to those diagnosed with serious illness like Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I remain hopeful that this expedited process will make these medical innovations accessible to the entire DMD community.
McNarys sons, Austin and Max, 14 and 11 respectively, were diagnosed more than a decade ago with Duchenne. Over the past year Max has had access to the drug eteplirsen as part of a highly successful clinical trial. The drug helps fight the loss of dystrophin by reconnecting the sequence of 79 exons by skipping over the one the boys are missing.
There is no cure for Duchenne, but since Max has been in the clinical trial, he has regained a lot of his strength and no longer needs to use a wheelchair, according to McNary. Austin was not allowed to participate in the trial.
Max is not much of speaker and handshaker, so he and I walk to the zoo and walked back, his mother said. Max could not be better. He is continuing to amaze us.
Austin, on the other hand, is getting weaker, but he has high hopes the drug will be approved soon, McNary said.
Austin has become a great advocate, she said of her older son. He has come a long way... but he understands this is his life.
McNary said Austin and his friend Jake Wesley, 12, who also has Duchenne, spent the beginning of the week visiting with members of Congress, including Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
They surprised me, knowing they are advocating for themselves, she said.
McNary said the support they have received from people and organizations around the world has been amazing. She said she was always hopeful that people would jump on board and help them in any way they could.
We want people to know how grateful we are, she said. This story is not over.

How About a Mouse and Keyboard to Go With That Vista?
Post: #1
Microsoft Offers Tools to Ease Vista Transition
Microsoft released six tools for helping businesses make the upgrade to Windows Vista. Though the release will not likely cause an instant surge in demand for Vista from businesses, the tools will shorten the time companies require to upgrade, which can often take between six and 18 months.
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) on Tuesday released the final versions of six new tools designed to help businesses make the migration to its newly released operating system (OS), Windows Vista. The tools can assist business users at each stage in their upgrade to the next-generation OS, including assessment, planning, testing and deployment, according to Microsoft.
"Broadly deploying a new Windows client operating system starts with a testing and planning process, followed by a significant investment in time and effort to roll out the new solution," said Al Gillen, research vice president for System Software at IDC. "The tools Microsoft has delivered with Windows Vista will help customers save time and reduce effort both in the planning process and in the deployment phase."
Compatibility Issues
The tools can assess the compatibility of both hardware and software , assist with the actual deployment and managing volume activation of the OS, and provide a virtual environment for continued use of past versions of the Windows client.
Businesses with questions about whether their organization currently has the PC power to upgrade to Vista can turn to the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 1.0 (WVHA) tool. With WVHA, companies can assess their entire network of hardware -- computers and other devices -- for compatibility with Vista, quickly and easily. The tool takes an inventory of each PC without the need to install software agents on any machine. The free download automatically generates a set of comprehensive reports with upgrade recommendations for each PC, the company said.
Once businesses have determined whether their computers are up to snuff, they can turn their attention to ascertaining how an upgrade will affect the applications running on their network.
The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) 5.0 can assist companies by reducing the cost and time it takes to resolve any compatibility issues they may encounter in the migration. At all levels of the software development process, using a series of compatibility evaluators and tools, ACT 5.0 provides software developers, independent software vendors (ISV) and IT professional with the ability to identify potential application conflicts and how best to resolve them before the OS has been deployed.
The free tool includes mechanisms for remediating compatibility issues and tracking compatibility information throughout the life cycle of an application. ACT 5.0 also includes a new online ACT community through which users can access regularly-updated assessments and test results from Microsoft as well as a variety of other companies, including the ISVs.

How About a Mouse and Keyboard to Go With That Vista?
Microsoft finally got its Windows Vista software out the door. Now comes the hardware.
The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 combines a Bluetooth keyboard with Microsoft's first rechargeable mouse. Both can work up to 30 feet from the U.S.B. transmitter in the computer.
The $150 unit was designed for Vista, but it works with Windows XP. Dedicated keys call up the Windows Vista start menu, the Windows Live instant-messaging system and Windows "gadgets" — desktop programs that offer weather, news, calendars and other functions.
The keyboard, featuring a thin, curved design, is geared to multimedia use. The left side has what amounts to a remote control for all the devices that are connected through Windows Media Center.
The included software even adds some Vista visual functions. A click on the mouse's scroll wheel displays large thumbnails of all the open windows. And the small right button can be used to magnify a portion of the screen — ideal for reading the fine print in those user agreements. STEPHEN C. MILLER

Microsoft tells some users no on Vista
After years of delays and billions in development and marketing efforts, it would seem that Microsoft Corp. would want anyone who possibly can to buy its new Windows Vista operating system. Yet Microsoft is making it hard for Mac owners and other potentially influential customers to adopt the software
Microsoft says the blockade is necessary for security reasons. But that is disputed. The circumstances might simply reflect a business decision Microsoft doesn't want to explain.
The situation involves a technology known as virtualization. Essentially, it lets one computer mimic multiple machines, even ones with different operating systems. It does this by running multiple applications at the same time, but in separate realms of the computer.
Virtualization has long been used in corporate data centers as a way to increase server efficiency or to test programs in a walled-off portion of a machine. The technology also has been available for home users, but often at the expense of the computer's performance.
But now that Macintosh computers from Apple Inc. use Intel Corp. chips, just like Windows-based PCs, virtualization programs let Mac users easily switch back and forth between Apple's Mac OS X operating system and Windows. That could appeal to Mac enthusiasts who want access to programs that only work on Windows, including some games.
Consequently, the launch of Vista seemed to be a good opportunity for Parallels Inc., a subsidiary of SWsoft Inc. that sells virtualization products.
Unlike Apple's free Boot Camp program that lets Windows run on a Mac, Parallels' $80 virtualization product for Macs does not require users to have just one operating system running at a time. Parallels runs Windows in a, well, window on the Mac desktop.
Parallels also sells a $50 version for Windows PCs — which would let people run both Vista and its predecessor, Windows XP, so they can keep programs that aren't yet Vista-compatible.

Vista security full of holes says Symantec
Thursday 01 Mar 2007
Windows Vista delivers on some of the security improvements Microsoft promised for it, but there are still a host of ways attackers can exploit the OS and leave users open to threats, according to findings by Symantec.
The security vendor's Security Response Advanced Threat Research group Wednesday released four reports on the security implications of Vista -- with two more to come next week -- and found that while the underlying OS is more secure, there are still unplugged holes that will allow malicious code to penetrate a user's system, said Oliver Friedrichs, director of Symantec's Security Response Emerging Threats group.
"There are areas where they are to be commended [because] they have eradicated certain types of threats," he said. "But there are areas where Microsoft falls short and continues to create exposure for consumers and enterprises."
Microsoft has done a good job at locking down the core OS against memory-manipulation threats, such as buffer overflows that were used by worms such as Blaster and Sasser to attack Windows, Friedrichs said. This security improvement has spurred attackers into changing their tactics and target third-party applications that run on the OS rather than the OS itself, he said.
It's in protecting applications where Vista falls short, Friedrichs said. "Third-party applications are still exposed," he said.
Third-party application drivers running on the 64-bit version of Vista are especially vulnerable due to the ability to disable the driver-signing feature of the 64-bit kernel, Friedrichs said. Symantec security researchers were able to disable this new feature -- which requires all kernel drivers to be signed digitally by a reputable party in order to load into the kernel -- in just one week.
Other new 64-bit kernel features -- patchguard and code integrity -- also could be disabled in a week, he added. Patchguard protects the kernel from direct threats such as rootkits, and code integrity enables the OS to protect itself and its applications from external manipulation.
Another feature in Vista that was supposed to improve the security of the system actually poses a new security threat, Friedrichs said. User account control, a feature that can be set up so a Vista user has limited privileges to access an application or an administrator function, actually can be bypassed by hackers to allow someone to gain full and unrestricted access to the OS, he said.
"Originally it was considered to be one of the most notable security technologies in Vista," Friedrichs said. "More recently, because of research done both by Microsoft and third parties, we found that the technology is not as effective as originally envisioned."
Friedrichs acknowledged that it may be self-serving for Symantec, which offers add-on security products for Windows, to publish findings that the OS is not secure. But he said that his group conducted its research by a legitimate scientific method. Moreover, the research is intended to provide recommendations to Microsoft for improving Windows security in the future.
In a statement through its public-relations firm, Microsoft defended its position that Vista is the most secure client version of Windows to date. But the company said it will take into consideration research by Symantec and other parties about Vista and make changes if necessary to make the OS even more safe against possible threats.

Greetings everybody, and welcome to my website, HoglanIndustries.com. I hope you all enjoy it, and make this your place to turn to for knowledge on "all things Gene".
As this site will forever metamorphose, and we here at GHI are learning to walk before we run marathons-while-screaming, we're launching it as is, and I will keep the updates a-comin' at a pretty regular basis.
One of the first items I will be tending to is writing a regular feature column detailing chronologically every album I've performed on, starting of course with "Darkness Descends", all the way through to the latest slab of whatever-it-may-be. Recollections and reminiscences detailing all that I remember about every project, including some with which many of you may not be familiar. I figure, I'll probably fire them out on a monthly basis, so, that's gonna be a 2 ½ year project if I stopped putting out albums right now.
To run concurrently with the release of my first DVD, "The Atomic Clock", I will be uploading video snippets of items that, while informative and educational, didn't make the final cut. A few 'buffering lessons', if you will. Those should be exciting!
Also, check out my online store to get all the latest 'Gene Goodies', such as my brand new line of 'Gene Shirts', the forthcoming " The Atomic Clock" DVD, and loads of merch to come. I will be selling used sticks of mine as well, and no self-respecting Gene-fan (Hey, that's an oxymoron!) would want to carry on living without a pair of those dangling from your rear-view mirror or feeding your fireplace, let me tell ya.
Coming shortly as well will be a FAQ section, where all that bs you've never been able to dig up on me will be revealed. Wanna know what that pattern is on your favorite tune? Why the boots? How'd I get to be soooo good-lookin'? Find out all you need to know at the FAQ section. And, if you've got questions that I haven't answered, feel free to nail me with 'em. So, get off yer FAQ-in' asses and ask me some FAQ-in' questions, dammit!
I'm sure I will eventually get around to launching a forum on here, as well. A place to rant and rave, talk music or drums with other like(and unlike)-minded individuals, and hell, I'll totally be jumping on there and giving my two-bit opinion. Which is always right. The only time I've ever been wrong is when I thought I was mistaken. Hee hee.
So, there's a brief intro to the goings on around HoglanIndustries.com. Dive in and make yourself at home. All are welcome here.
Absolutely everyone.

PULLET - A Christmas Story: My Gramdma Grider loved her chickens. She would sing to them everyday and when feeding them she would call each by name and they would come. One Saturday me and my cousin heard her calling to the chickens so we looked out the back window to watch. Grandma had two pullets by the neck, one in each hand.
Deftly, almost inperceptually, she gave her hands a slight twist and the chickens were dead.
The next day when Grandma called us to Sunday dinner we came imediatelly wearing our best manners. We wondered what were the names of the chickens we were eating but were too afraid to ask.

My son is 7 months old. He has been somewhat distracted during nursing sessions so I have been offering him the breast more often during the day.
I was pumping 2 times a day but in the last 2 weeks I might only pump 1 time a day if that. Since I stopped pumping on a regular basis I have noticed that when I do go to pump I get hardly anything at all....I just pumped and only got 1oz total from both breast and my son ate last about 2 hours ago.
I stopped pumping because I feared that there was not a long enough stretch in between when my son ate last and when he woke up to eat again....ate last at 6pm usually pump at 8pm and he wakes again at 10pm to eat....during the day he eats every 3-4 hours, clusters a little in late afternoon.
The only reason that I pump in the first place is for breastmilk for his cereal during the day and to have an occassional bottle on hand if I am out....might happen once every 2 weeks. In the past I could pump at night to cover the next day breastmilk for cereal and freeze what I pumped during the day....now I can't even get enough for the cereal.
My OB has suggested that I go on Reglan but I am not sure if I want to do that....for many reasons.
I don't know if I should stop pumping and use formula for his cereal? Or try to get my supply up again, and how to do that I am not sure!
Any suggestions would be great!

Playlists in Creative Zen MX
it might be an old problem now. sorry for this.
i recently bought a creative zen mx. i'm cool with nearly all stuff, but not with playlists.
firstly i do not want to use creative centrale.
i tried to sync the player with windows media player 11. the songs were transferred to the player but when it came to syncing the playlists, nada. wmp transferred the songs but not the playlists. it did not took long for me to understand that MX did not support the wpl format.
so i tried save as.. m3u the same playlist and manually transferring it to the player's playlist folder. did not work.
i tried winamp for sync, but it did not do any good either.
mediamonkey transferred the playlist but the device shows the playlist as empty.
i tried some more tricks on playlists, i even tried creative centrale but it did not work. never mention the freezes in the program.
so please tell me a simple way to sync my playlists with the player. i preferably use wmp for managing my music, so i'd like to use it in syncing with the MX but i'm also cool with winamp. i'm fed up now.
thanks in advance.
Hi Inertia, welcome to ABi:)
Syncing playlists to MSC devices has always been a problem as far as I know. I'm not sure if there is a simple way to sync existing playlists to the player, but at least you can recreate them on the player in a few steps.
The .m3u file contains "links" to the songs, you can see this when you open the m3u file in a text-editor like Notepad. The problem is that these links refer to locations on your harddrive, and if you copy everything to the player all these links do not work.
An MTP player should take care of that, but the Zen MX is an MSC device so it doesn't..
To workaround this issue, you can rebuild your playlists with songs that are already on the player, so that the "links" are correct. I'm not very familiar with WMP so I'll use Winamp as an example;
- connect the player to the pc, open it in Explorer and browse to the songs you want in the playlist.
- open winamp, and drag all the songs to the "playlist" window.
- when done, click "save as playlist", then browse to the "playlist"-folder on your Zen and save it there.
This should create an m3u file with correct "links" in it.
To make this process a little easier you could copy all the songs from a playlist to one folder, that would make it easier to drag everything to winamp in one time.
I don't know of any easier way, if anyone else does I hope they chime in and inform you about it :)
Hey Inertia...I sound a bit like a broken record but...
I have several older Creative devices I still love. I manage them all 100% completely using MTP protocol in Win with Winamp, as Brett_val alludes to.
Playlists are a no brainer right click away. Device/song/file management is a no brainer. And yes, like Brett_val, I believe for sure that playlists under MSC mode is usually problematic.
Give Winamp a shot - what have you got to lose? The free full version is all you need....
sorry for the late answer, thanks, I'm going to give that a try now.

Are transgender employees protected from employment discrimination in California?
As of January 1, 2004, California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, also known as the "FEHA," made it illegal for an employer with 5 or more employees to fire, fail to hire, or discriminate in any way against employees who are or are perceived to be transgender or gender non-conforming.
The FEHA also prohibits "harassment" on the basis of gender identity or gender expression, regardless of the employer's size. Harassment occurs when a supervisor, co-worker, or non-employee in your workplace subjects you to hostile, offensive, or intimidating behavior because of your gender identity or gender expression. To be illegal, the harassment must be so "severe or pervasive" that it interferes with your ability to perform your job. For example, one joke or slur about your gender identity or gender expression, or an inadvertent failure to address you with the correct pronoun, might be rude and unfair, but is not enough to constitute illegal harassment. On the other hand, it is illegal if you are subjected to such comments on a regular basis, or if your employer intentionally or persistently fails to respect your gender identity or gender expression. Likewise, if one of your co-workers physically attacks you based on your gender identity, that is harassment because it is so severe, even if it only happens once.
A. Names and pronouns
If you transition while at your job, you have the right to be addressed by the name and pronoun that corresponds to your gender identity. Additionally, your employee records and identification documents should be changed to reflect that name and pronoun. Although it is unlikely that one co-worker's honest mistake in addressing you with the wrong pronoun constitutes harassment, if you are intentionally and persistently addressed with the incorrect name or pronoun, even after you have informed your employer of your gender identity, your employer may be engaging in unlawful harassment.
B. Restroom accessibility
You have the right to use the restroom in your workplace that corresponds with your gender identity. It is acceptable for your employer to provide a unisex restroom for transgender employees to use, as long as you are not denied the right to use the restroom that corresponds with your gender identity. Ideally, employers will always provide an easily accessible unisex restroom for use by any employee who chooses to use it. However, no employee should be compelled to use such a restroom if a gender appropriate restroom is available.
C. Dress codes
The FEHA explicitly allows an employer to enforce reasonable workplace appearance, grooming, and dress standards, as long as employees are allowed to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression. This means that if your employer enforces dress codes that are based on gender, the dress code must be enforced in a way that judges your compliance based on standards appropriate for your gender identity or gender expression.
Do any other laws protect transgender employees from discrimination at work?
Although the FEHA is the main source of protection for transgender employees, other laws also cover transgender employees:
A. California political activity laws
California Labor Code Sections 1101 and 1102 prohibit employers from preventing an employee's political activity, or punishing an employee due to that employee's political activity. The California Supreme Court has interpreted "coming out" by lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees to constitute such protected political activity. Likewise, if you disclose your gender identity or openly transition from one gender to another, you may argue that these actions are protected political acts. This law may be especially important for employees who work for employers with less than 5 employees, because those employers are not covered by the FEHA (except with respect to harassment as described above).
B. Local laws
Some localities in California (such as San Francisco, Oakland, City and County of Santa Cruz, West Hollywood, and San Diego) also have laws that prohibit gender identity discrimination in employment. Usually, these ordinances cover only employers within the locality, although some (such as San Francisco) extend coverage to employers who do business with the municipality. San Francisco has an agency that regularly investigates complaints of gender identity discrimination. That agency, the San Francisco Human Rights Commission ("SFHRC"), can investigate your complaint of discrimination and mediate a settlement between you and your employer. Other localities may have human rights commissions, civil rights offices, or equal employment officers that may assist you with a complaint under the local ordinance—check with your City or County Clerk.
Local laws often are of limited value to employees, because California state law bars you from bringing a lawsuit under these local laws. Therefore, if investigation or mediation does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the human rights commission or similar agency can take no further action to enforce the law, and you have no other recourse under local law. You must therefore pursue your complaint with the appropriate state or federal agency (see below).
C. Federal law
Currently, federal law does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. Nonetheless, transgender employees seek protection from employment discrimination under existing laws barring discrimination on the basis of sex.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on sex, and applies to employers with 15 or more employees. It is illegal for an employer to fire, fail to hire, or discriminate in any way against you with respect to your compensation or in the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because you are a man or a woman. These prohibitions on discrimination also apply to sex-based "harassment." Harassment occurs when a supervisor or co-worker subjects you to hostile, offensive, or intimidating behavior because of your sex that is so severe or pervasive that it interferes with your ability to perform your job.
Sex discrimination includes situations where someone is treated unfairly for not looking or acting in the way expected of a man or a woman. Discrimination against someone for not conforming to gender stereotypes about the way people of a particular sex are supposed to look or act is sex discrimination. Likewise, if you are harassed or discriminated against for transitioning from one sex to another, that may be considered illegal sex discrimination, because the discrimination is because of your new sex. Title VII may be useful for federal government employees, because federal employers are not covered by the FEHA.
What if I am discriminated against or harassed by my co-workers?
The anti-discrimination laws described above protect you from acts of discrimination committed by your employer or your employer's "agents," which includes other employees and third parties (such as customers). Therefore, discrimination or harassment by your supervisor or co-workers or third parties is prohibited under these laws.
Which employers are covered by these laws?
The FEHA applies to all California employers with 5 or more employees (except in cases of harassment, in which case there is no minimum employer size), but provides no protections for federal government employees (such as United States Postal Service workers).
The California Labor Code sections apply to all employers, regardless of their size, but provide no protection to federal government employees.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"), the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination, applies to all employers with 15 or more employees.
What should I do if I am being discriminated against or harassed?
A. Speak to a supervisor or manager or to your employer's human resources or personnel department.
- For all cases, you should try to resolve the situation informally by first speaking with a supervisor, manager, or someone in your employer's human resources or personnel office.
- In cases of harassment, promptly notify a manager or supervisor (unless that person is the harasser), or the person identified in your employer's non-harassment policy, if your employer has such a policy. Follow up with a written complaint, and keep a copy of it for yourself. If you do not complain, the employer may later try to avoid liability by saying that it did not know about the harassment.
B. Document the discrimination or harassment.
- Keep a journal (preferably at home) recording incidents of suspected discrimination or harassment. Write down dates, times, and witnesses to any such incidents.
- Keep copies of all important letters and documents that you send to your employer or that the employer sends to you.
- If in doubt, try to avoid signing anything without legal advice, especially documents that require you to agree to waive your right to bring a complaint, or require you to arbitrate disputes with your employer.
C. Filing a complaint
If you are not able to resolve your situation informally, you can:
- Follow your employer's grievance procedure, if your employer has one. If you belong to a union, talk with your union representative.
- You also can choose to file an employment discrimination complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) (gender identity or gender expression), the Labor Commissioner (political activity), or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (sex discrimination), which may investigate your complaint and try to resolve the problem. There is no charge to file a complaint, and you can do so without an attorney. You must file your complaint with the DFEH within one year, the Labor Commissioner within 6 months, or the EEOC within 300 days, of the last act of discrimination or harassment. If you do not file a complaint within these time limits, you may lose your right to legal protection from the discrimination or harassment.
Note to employees of the federal government: Since you are not covered under the FEHA, and Title VII does not give transgender people the option to complain about discrimination based on gender identity, the only protection you can seek is based on sex discrimination (under Title VII) and you must file with your federal employer's EEO office within 45 days.
For more information about how to pursue a complaint with the DFEH or EEOC, consult our fact sheet, Employment Discrimination.
If you file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner, and you do not settle the matter with your employer, the Labor Commissioner will make a determination about whether discrimination occurred. Before making a determination, the Labor Commissioner may hold a hearing about your complaint; you and your employer each have the right to bring an attorney or other representative with you to the hearing.
After the Labor Commissioner makes a determination, either you or your employer may appeal the decision within 10 days. You also have the right to file a complaint against your employer in court, either at the same time you file your complaint with the Labor Commissioner, or you may file in court after the investigation, if the Labor Commissioner dismisses your complaint.
- If you live in an area with a local anti-discrimination law, you can file a complaint with the local agency, such as the Human Rights Commission in San Francisco, which may investigate and mediate your complaint.
D. Where to file a complaint:
DFEH: To file a complaint with the DFEH, file online at dfeh.ca.gov or call the Communication Center at (800) 884-1684 to make an appointment.
Labor Commissioner (Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement): To file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner, contact the nearest district office. Consult the Labor Commissioner web site for district office locations.
EEOC: To file a complaint with the EEOC, contact the nearest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office. To be automatically connected with the nearest office, call (800) 669-4000.
Local: To file a complaint under a local anti-discrimination law, contact the local human rights commission or similar organization (if one exists—check with the City or County Clerk). In San Francisco, contact the Human Rights Commission at (415) 252-2500.
What if I am fired, disciplined, or treated worse because I complained about discrimination or harassment?
Under the anti-discrimination laws described above, it is illegal for a person or company to retaliate against you if you complain about discrimination or harassment in the workplace. Retaliation may include actions such as terminating you, moving you to less favorable assignments or shifts, making undeserved negative evaluations, or intensifying the original harassment. If anyone (including a co-worker or supervisor) retaliates against you for complaining about unlawful discrimination at your workplace, you can file a retaliation complaint with the DFEH, EEOC, or Labor Commissioner. That complaint is separate from the original discrimination complaint, if any, you made with the DFEH, EEOC, or Labor Commissioner.
What kinds of questions may an employer ask about my gender?
The California Constitution protects you from intrusive and inappropriate questions from your employer that are not work-related. The only time an employer may ask questions about private issues is when he or she has a business reason for wanting to know the information that is greater than your interest in keeping the information private.
For example, your employer may not ask about your genitalia or biological sex simply because she is "curious." However, if your work requires the use of showers or changing rooms where nudity is unavoidable, your employer may be able to make inquiries in order to determine which room will be most appropriate for you to use.
Can I get time off for my condition?
A. State and federal medical leave laws
If you are treated for gender identity disorder (GID), or have a serious medical condition related to your transgender status, you may be able to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). For example, if part of your treatment for GID includes sex reassignment surgery for which you will be hospitalized overnight, you would qualify for leave under FMLA and CRFA, provided you meet the other eligibility requirements. Similarly, if your condition causes you to miss work for more than three days in a row and you are seeking continuing treatment (including counseling or hormone therapy under the supervision of a health care provider), you likely would be eligible for leave under these laws. Note that a GID diagnosis is not required to qualify for leave under FMLA/CFRA; you must simply have a serious health condition that meets the criteria listed above.
For more information about medical leave laws, consult our publication, Family/Medical Leave: Your Own Health Condition.
B. Reasonable accommodation under the FEHA's disability provisions
Many people feel that transsexualism and transgenderism should not be considered psychiatric or medical conditions. However, California's disability law purposefully de-stigmatizes such conditions and provides protections that may be particularly useful for some transgender people in the workplace, such as reasonable accommodation.
Under the FEHA, if you are a qualified individual with a disability, and can do the basic duties of the job (with accommodations, if necessary), you may obtain "reasonable accommodation" of your disability to enable you to perform your job. Reasonable accommodations are adjustments or modifications made to a job or the workplace that enable you to successfully perform your basic job duties, without changing the essential job functions. Reasonable accommodations of transsexualism, gender identity disorder, and gender dysphoria are modifications that enable you to live according to your gender identity and enable you to perform your job. Such accommodations could include time off for health care appointments (including therapy) or leaves of absence for surgery.
For more information about reasonable accommodations, consult our fact sheet, Disabilities in the Workplace.
For further information about your employment rights, contact the Workers' Rights Clinic.
This Fact Sheet is intended to provide accurate, general information regarding legal rights relating to employment in California. Yet because laws and legal procedures are subject to frequent change and differing interpretations, the Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center cannot ensure the information in this Fact Sheet is current nor be responsible for any use to which it is put.

Flu in Vermont said to be on riseJanuary 12,2013
MONTPELIER — Incidents of the flu appear to be rising in Vermont.
As of last week, about 20 percent of hospital visits were for respiratory illnesses and about 5 percent of visits to doctors' offices were for flulike symptoms.
Three adults have died, all of them in December.
Vermont Health Department officials say the rates of the flu are higher than other years in Vermont but that the number of deaths does not appear out of the ordinary.
A total of 10 people died from the flu last year, seven in 2011 and none in 2010.
The Health Department says it has not heard of any shortage of vaccine or whether certain cities or regions have been hard hit.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN One person was displaced in an apartment fire in Graniteville Saturday morning.

Our oceans are a vital part of a healthy eco-system, and every little step we take towards a greener lifestyle is a step toward cleaner oceans. We've put together a top-ten list of things you can do to help keep our oceans cleaner and our earth greener.
- Vote
Contact your representatives from local to national levels and let them know how important good ocean policy is to you. Exercise your right to vote and stay involved all year long.
- Eat sustainable seafood
Keep up to date on sustainable seafood (there's an app for that!) and ask questions at restaurants and the fish market. Look for terms like "line caught", "diver caught", "sustainably caught" or "sustainably harvested".
- Reduce plastic throw-aways
Plastic debris in the ocean degrades marine habitats, and because floating debris often resembles food, it can cause choking or malnutrition in marine birds, sea turtles and marine mammals. Switch to reusable plastics, give up the plastic grocery bags and keep plastics out of the waste stream.
- Pick up trash
That plastic debris comes from somewhere, and most of it washes into the ocean as litter from beaches or upstream in rivers. If you spend a day at the shore, or along the banks, bring along a trash bag and contribute to the clean-up efforts.
- Reduce energy use
Carbon dioxide has a negative impact on our oceans, making them more acidic, reducing coral growth and more. Take steps to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Handle with care
Don't toss hazardous materials into the trash. Things like motor oil, batteries and other hazardous waste need to be disposed of properly to avoid polluting the waterways.
- Fertilize less
Fertilizers are picked up by rain water and carried downstream, eventually finding their way into the ocean, resulting in areas of low oxygen levels in the water. Reduce your fertilizer use, and switch to more environmentally friendly fertilizer choices (like compost).
- Buy ocean friendly
Choose sustainable products – they're good for the entire eco-system, including our oceans. Using your consumer power is one sure way to have big impact on global practices.
- Tell a friend
Spread the word, the more people who are doing the same things, the greater the positive impact will be.
- Join an ocean-focused organization
Oceana is the largest international organization focused 100% on ocean conservation. Also look to local groups like the Waterkeeper Alliance.

Deer hearing draws sparse crowdJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff File Photo
Andrew Holt, 14, of Montpelier, and his father, Norris, hunt along the edge of a field in Northfield during a youth hunting weekend.
CASTLETON The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department held a fourth deer meeting Wednesday night at the Kehoe Conservation Camp in Castleton, but only a dozen people showed up.
Despite the empty chairs, the departments deer biologist Adam Murkowski went through his entire presentation, detailing biological survey data from the recent deer season to offer a snapshot of what the department believes is the status of the Vermont deer herd.
The message was mostly positive, and after the past seasons harvest turned up larger-bodied and bigger-antlered deer, that good news might be why the room wasnt full of hunters.
Brian Ames, chairman of the Fish and Wildlife Board and one of four board members at the meeting, said that generally deer hearings after bad deer seasons are packed, while hearings are less contentious after a good year.
A hearing in Montpelier on Thursday evening rounded out the departments schedule for the year.
Whatever the reason for the low attendance, Ames said he was disappointed in the turnout.
The board was looking for more input on the antlerless opportunities it will offer for this coming fall deer season.
The recommendations are based on sightings, biological data such as weight and antler size, winter severity and other information.
The board has already voted once to approve the departments recommendations at a recent meeting and will vote a second time May 29.
Unlike previous years where it took three votes to approve the recommendations, this year there will only be two votes.
Public input can still be offered by emailing comments to firstname.lastname@example.com by May 26.
Wednesdays gathering turned into a question-and-answer session with one key part of the Vermont hunting experience getting a lot of discussion: hunter access to private land.
Everybody agreed access is one of the keys to better management of the states deer herd and to improve hunter satisfaction.
In some areas, the department is suggesting more deer be killed to maintain sustainable populations at the right numbers for the land to support.
But too many deer are finding refuge on private land while public land is being overrun with hunters trying to find all the deer the department says are running around.
Bryce Taylor asked about the topic, saying a piece of public property near his house sometimes has eight or 10 vehicles parked on it.
Murkowski told Taylor, the private land issue is hampering the state from reaching its population goals, adding the department doesnt believe enough deer can be killed in one year to get to population targets and a large part of that was hunter access.
One of the tools the department is trying to use to improve access to private land is the new rule allowing landowners to post their land without permission allowing the land to be posted but allowing hunters to ask for and get permission.
Ames said former Commissioner Patrick Berry did great work on the access issue and said he was confident the new commissioner, Louis Porter, would take up the fight as well.
Ames said another way access is being pursued is through the Current Use program, which is a political hot potato.
Berry pushed the idea of making access part of the deal to have land enrolled in the current use program.
When I came on the board, you couldnt mention Current Use, Ames said. Patrick Berry deserves a lot of credit. At least, its being talked about now. Our current commissioner (Porter), I dont want to speak for him, but I think he will be as aggressive.

Larry Bell's colored-glass cubes embody the quiet, simplified geometric patterns of Minimalism and likewise declare the use of unconventional materials seen throughout these galleries. In addition, Bell's choice of colored, coated glass allowed the artist to introduce an element of illusionistic play into his work, which Donald Judd, too, had been experimenting with in his own contemporaneous sculptures. Judd, in fact, very much admired Bell's use of glass, and the New York–based artist's solo exhibition held at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1971 was dedicated to Bell. Bell's elegant cubes—with one side an impenetrable mirror, and the other a hazy reflection—introduced issues of illusionism and perception that were taken up far more actively by some of his fellow Southern Californians. Further, the handmade aspect of a highly finished surface was not far from Brancusi's modus operandi, in terms of creating works that not only stand in the world but also reflect it.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Petitions have been filed to recall four Republican Wisconsin state senators from office.
Three petitions were filed electronically shortly after midnight Tuesday, the same time as paperwork was submitted to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The recalls against Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and three Republican senators are backed by the state Democratic Party. Another recall was launched against Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald by a Fort Atkinson woman.
The other three senators are Pam Galloway of Wausau, Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls and Van Wanggaard of Racine.
About 15,000 to 17,000 signatures are needed to recall each of the senators. It takes more than 540,000 signatures to force a recall election for Walker and Kleefisch.

Dr. Olmsted's Research Recognized
The French National Research Center (CNRS) Division of Prehistory has adopted a Bluefield State College faculty member's explanation of the calendar system used by the early Celts in France.
Dr. Garrett Olmsted, Associate Professor of Anthropology & Sociology at BSC devoted three years' research into developing a system to explain the calendar used by the Celts in the first century, B.C. His findings are detailed in his book, The Gaulish Calendar, published in Gaulish Germany in 1992. French philologists (historians specializing in the study of ancient calendars) were reluctant to accept Olmsted's system until very recently, when philologist Pinault confirmed in Gnomen (a critical publication for classical ancient history) that the BSC faculty member's findings are accurate and cannot be doubted.
"The development of the Celtic calendar is significant," Olmsted explained, "because it was the most accurate calendar in predicting the location of the sun and moon until the Gregorian calendar was developed in the mid-15th century." Olmsted examined bronze fragments of the original Celt calendars, whose creation dated back to about 100 B.C. and were copied repeatedly over the next 300 years. He also utilized photographs of original calendars in his research.
"I realized that 300 symbols on the calendars indicate the bronze plate contained a calendar with a 25-year cycle, but that it developed from one with a 30-year cycle," Olmsted continued. "The 25-year calendar was five times more accurate than earlier calendars. The French were at first reluctant to accept my explanation of the calendar system. I had to publish my work in Germany. It has taken the French five years to admit that I am right."
Olmsted, who regularly speaks at national and international historical colloquia, will be a featured presenter at Harvard later this semester. His program focuses upon ancient metalsmiths and coin art.


text: so i go back to work on wed. and i've been exclusively bf now...she's 12 weeks. at first i thought i was losing my milk..my breasts got softer and i wasn't pumping a lot. but she's been seeming content and getting wet and dirty diapers. i also called a lactation consultant and she said it's normal, but now the problem i used to be able to pump 2-4oz EASY and now i can barely get 1 oz from BOTH breasts. even when she didn't eat from a particular breast, i'm not pumping anything! i felt the let down and at first will get some milk that sprays then nothing but dribbles and drops. i'll pump both at the same and even tried one at a time...for 15 minutes even. i'm eating oatmeal and drinking the mother's milk tea. but i don't think it's a supply issue since she does seem content and i feel the let down, but i'm not getting anything when i pump. i'm really stressing out since i go back to work on wed. the good thing is that i do have a big supply in the freezer, but i don't know how long that will last. is it the pump? i have the medela advanced in style. any advice?! please help!:(

Editor: For many years, the Wave has been very willing to print my many epistles on various subjects. Several years ago, I did have a letter returned because I mentioned a candidate's name during election season. I was informed that the Wave did not allow political endorsements in letters and held a position of political neutrality for elections.
Many people are now wondering if somehow that Wave neutrality has been softened this year. A few weeks ago, in an 'above the fold' front page article about the first "write-in" candidate in Heber City, the Wave extolled the virtues of the write-in campaign. Newsworthy? - perhaps - but this was a candidate who, a few months earlier, dropped out of the primary election for the same position.
The article even included a large picture of the candidate with his supporters. No similar article or coverage of other candidates has appeared in print.
A week or so later, in an editorial, the Wave opined that "unfortunately . . . the write-in candidate ...won't be heard that night." at the CornerStone forum, because of their written policy.
Last week, yet another editorial, entitled "Absence Makes Voters Wander" (sic), again pointing out CornerStones' supposed policy deficiencies and decrying the fact that 'write-ins' were precluded from invites. The editorial also stated that one candidate "opted to not attend citing family commitments," so "Unfortunately, the voting public will not have the opportunity to evaluate all the candidate on a level playing field."
I must "wander" [sic] if the Wave might be showing some election bias in the Heber Mayoral race, counter to their policy.
Also unreported was the debate held on the Impact radio program on KTMP involving all Heber City Council candidates A synopsis of the comments and a recording can be found at wasatch.blogspot.com or WasatchLive.com

A near-barefoot shoe for becoming one with the road, the Merrell Road Glove provides no cushioning and an extra-firm ride.
Become one with the road in the Merrell Road Glove. This zero drop shoe brings you low and level to the ground while providing just a touch of cushioning from hard surfaces. The breathable, open upper allows for excellent air flow, with a close fit midfoot that opens up in the toe box, giving plenty of space for toe splay.
Model Number:
Stack Height: Heel (11mm), Forefoot (11mm); non-removable insole
Available Widths: D=Medium
How it fits (based on width D)
The Merrell Road Glove is a minimal feature, minimal neutral shoe designed for daily training and racing.
Comments: Best shoe I think I have ever had!!!!! I liked these so much after one month I wanted to buy a second pair.....no luck with that, now they don't have my size anymore. Very sad!
From: Jamie, Colorado
Comments: I have owned the Merrell Road Glove for six months now and it is my Go To Shoe. I use them for speed work and short faster runs and some long tempo runs. I love the shoe! I also have the Trail Glove and (although a good shoe) I like the Road Glove much better. I run in minimal shoes and this shoe is by far the best!!
From: Takis, Savannah, GA
Comments: I switched to minimalist running about 18 months ago. I have flat feet, short legs, I overpronate, and I started running when I was 38. You name it, I've had it: side stitches, runner's knee, IT band, shin splints. I finally bailed on motion control shoes after a half marathon where I finished about 15 minutes off my goal. First, I went totally barefoot and really liked it. Then it got cold and research let me to Merrell. I have been extremely satisfied. I've run a half and a full in the Road Glove with no ails whatsoever although the bottom of my feet began to hurt after about 22 miles into the Philly Marathon. Yes, I still stretch pre-run, but I feel these shoes make you run the way people are supposed to run: forefoot strike. They may not be a panacea but they are worth a try. These shoes are durable and machine washable. They tend to get pointy after use and washing but that's no big deal.
From: Anonymous
Comments: In my experience, the Road Glove is actually a better trail (and road) shoe than the Trail Glove (which I like too, just not as much). While the traction isn't quite as good off-road and the fit is a bit more slack, it's way more protective. The TG used to wreck my feet on pointy rocks, and the RG has enough cushion and a bigger heel to take away that problem. I don't miss the TG's rock plate at all. Plus, the RG is a little lighter.
From: Henry, Highland, NY
Comments: I have never run in this shoe but I wear them on my everyday excursions. This is the best pair of shoes I own.
From: Anonymous, Tuscaloosa, AL
Comments: I've been running in the Trail Glove for some time now, but I do most of my runs on asphalt. Merrell took all that I love about the TG, and made a perfect zero-drop road runner! This is easily my favorite road shoe!
From: Chas, Cornelius, NC, USA

Here are some questions to consider as you tour or talk with staff at potential birthplaces:
You can also keep in mind the questions developed by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services [3] (CIMS).
After you have asked the above questions, you should be able to ask yourself the following questions:
The World Health Organization and UNICEF have joined to sponsor the worldwide Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) to promote breastfeeding. Hospitals and birth centers may make application with the BFHI, certifying that they meet ten standards outlined by the Initiative that have been shown to be effective in increasing successful breastfeeding.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is the hospital ward for newborns in need of critical care. Babies who are born weeks or months before they are fully developed can require extensive medical attention. For a new mom the NICU can be a very scary place. Equipping yourself with an understanding of what the NICU is and how it can help should your baby be assigned there, can help reduce this fear.
Shortly after you give birth, your baby will be put through a series of tests known as the Apgar test, this allows the doctor to know your baby's heart rate, breathing rate, muscle tone, color and reflex responses. It's often repeated after several minutes if scores are low or distress is detected. It isn't uncommon for premature infants to have low-test scores, due to the lungs and heart not being fully developed.
There are many reasons for a newborn to be admitted to the NICU. Children who inhale amniotic fluid or meconium into the lungs are frequently placed in the NICU for monitoring, more as a precaution than a necessity. The NICU is staffed with a lower nurse-to-infant ratio.
In addition to more nurses per infant in the NICU, they're also equipped with all the necessary monitors and hi-tech equipment needed for each (at-risk) newborn's specific needs. In most hospitals, should your child need it, the NICU may become like a second home to you. Your baby needs you close even though you may not always be able to hold them. They can hear your voice and feel your gentle touch. Many of the babies admitted to the NICU are very fragile and very susceptible to germs. The sight of some of the infants can be frightening to a new mom who has a heightened state of anxiety over her own child's health. Generally there will be several babies kept in the same room with their mothers, fathers, and other staff in attendance. It's usually quiet with low light and some monitoring equipment noise.
A pediatric doctor called a neonatalogist cares for your baby, along with your regular physician and a staff of nurses specifically trained for this unit. The staff of the NICU work closely with parents and doctors to keep everyone informed on the status of each infant. The nurses quickly become a valuable support team for the parents of the babies in the NICU.
These nurses regularly receive gifts, photos, and frequent updates from past parents grateful for the care their child received in the NICU. Many NICUs hold yearly reunions for their "graduates," where the children and families get together, supporting one another by sharing information and resources. Their experiences are a comfort to others who may be experiencing anxiety over the possibility of having a child assigned to the NICU. A high rate of success in the NICU is a prized statistic for any hospital. How a hospital is able to care for it's most fragile patients is usually a benchmark for how patient care in general is at a particular hospital.
Once your baby has met the criteria to be discharged from the NICU, your doctor will notify you. You can then begin planning your baby's homecoming. There is clearly no better place for your baby to be if specialized care is recommended than the NICU.

By Melissa Nelson, Pure Matters
In fact, your genes are the most likely cause of gradual hair loss. Hereditary hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, affects about 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
You have about 120,000 hairs on your scalp. You lose up to 100 hairs each day through the normal process of hair growth and replacement. Normal hair growth depends on a good blood supply to the hair and your overall good health.
Sudden hair loss, however, can be a sign of a serious disease or a side effect of medications. See your doctor about:
- Red, itchy patches on the scalp
- Round, coin-sized bald areas
- Hair loss while you're taking a medication
The primary causes of these non-inherited types of hair loss include:
- Severe illness or major surgery
- Underactive or overactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
- Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis), a fungal infection seen mostly in children
- Medications, such as chemotherapy agents and birth control pills
- Hormonal changes following pregnancy
- Anemia, or low levels of iron in the blood
- Tightly braided hair
- Nervousness, which causes a person to pull out hair
- Hair treatments that use chemicals or heat; these can weaken the hair
- Disorders of the immune system
Treating hair loss that is not genetic or permanent will involve the treatment of underlying problems. In addition, more specific treatment will vary based on the cause of these nonhereditary types of hair loss.
Non-drugs ways to help prevent hair loss: Use baby shampoo (it is milder than adult hair formulas), avoid blow-drying your hair, and avoid combing your hair when it is wet (wet hair is more fragile than dry hair).
Two medications may help hereditary hair loss. Men and women can apply the over-the-counter lotion minoxidil to the scalp. This lotion is used twice a day to improve the blood supply to the hair. Finasteride is a prescription pill for men who are at risk for male pattern baldness. It may prevent male pattern baldness if given before much hair loss has occurred. It doesn't work as well at restoring hair that has already been lost.
Hair transplants are another treatment for male pattern baldness. The procedure is expensive and often requires multiple surgeries. The final effect may not be an improvement and may look artificial.
Of course, some people treat hair loss with a new hairstyle, hair weave, hairpiece, wig, scarf, or hat. Others embrace the idea that "bald is beautiful." Whatever you decide, there are many ways to handle hair loss.

text: So Tuesday night was my first back to work. I left enough pumped milk(which turned out to be more than enough) made the bottles and left all 3 kids with my dh who is a sahd. Jack who is 11 weeks took his first bottle ok but of course my dh had trouble getting him to sleep b/c he's used to nursing to sleep. Then when he woke up for his second feeding of the night dh attempted to give him his 2nd bottle and Jack proceeded to flip out. DH tried everything, different bottle different nipple cup feeding nothing worked. Poor baby just had to cry himself back to sleep because he was just beside himself. DH said when Jack woke back up around 6am DH walked toward him with the bottle and Jack flipped at just the site of it. When I got home Jack nursed no problem then took a nice long nap with me. Then that evening I attempted to give him a bottle. He didn't freak at the site of it and let me put the nipple in his mouth. He kind of plays with the nipple in his mouth but doesn't really suck. The awesome thing is my DH is so supportive of me breastfeeding. I was of course questioning my choice to bf (exhausted and worried about my baby being hungry). My DH was like of course you are doing what is best for Jack and this will all work out. He hasn't had any of the problems my ff babies had. Anyway has anyone had a baby who was refusing to take a bottle? What did you do? Thanks for reading my novel. I just needed to vent and hopefully someone has been where I am who can help.. THanks

Lawmakers Reflect on 2013 General Session
by Jeff Schuman, email@example.com
In what turned out to be one of the more grueling legislative sessions in recent years, Governor Mead says he appreciates Wyoming lawmakers addressing tough issues head on.
Lawmakers changed the structure of the Department of Education, came up with a funding source for highways, and addressed several guns bills.
But as K2's Jeff Schuman reports, the minority party feels too many cuts are being made.

Bridal Shower
Romance is in the air. Let's shower your friend with a fun but simple celebration. Here are some ideas to get the party started!
Getting Started
- Ask a friend or two to help. Divide duties to make lighter work for all.
- Set a date and create the guest list with the bride. Obtain addresses of guests at this time.
- Wedding bells theme, of course! Also incorporate the colors the bride has chosen.
- A specific type of shower could be suggested:
- Kitchen shower
- Linen shower (bed and bath shower)
- Crystal and china shower
- Invitations: Purchase or design your own, using pictures of the bride as a young girl. Mail invitations two to three weeks prior to the date, and don't forget to include RSVP information and directions to the shower.
- When you know the number of people attending, plan amounts of food, drink, and tableware.
- Consider the time of day.
- Brunch: Quiches, fruit platter, coffee, tea, and fruit juices
- Lunch: Tea sandwiches, simple salads, fruit platter, and punch
- Evening: Appetizers, fruit tray, punch, and coffee
- You might want to consider a meatless option.
- To save time, order prepared food from the deli.
- Select a delicious dessert from the recipes in this section.
- Memory game—Fill a laundry basket with items one will need for a room in the house. Give guests a pen and paper. Allow guests to view the items for 30 seconds. Remove basket and ask guests to write down as many items as they can remember within the time. The person with the most wins! Examples of items:
- Laundry detergent
- Stain remover
- Clothespins
- When the game is over, present the filled basket as a gift to the bride-to-be.
- Wedding Gown Fashion Show—Have guests divide into teams. Each team is given one or two rolls of toilet paper. They must choose a model and create a wedding gown on her using the toilet paper. Have the bride choose the design she would most likely wear on her wedding day!
- Picture Puzzle—Collect color photos of the groom as a child well in advance of the shower. Enlarge and copy each one onto 8 ½ x 11-inch heavy paper. Cut each enlargement into puzzle pieces and divide the pieces of one photo into three long envelopes. Each guest is given an envelope as she arrives. Each guest tries to find the two people who have the missing pieces of her puzzle. The team that finishes their picture first wins. This is a good way to get some interaction among the guests.
- Do You Know Your Mate? Interview the groom-to-be and ask lots of personal questions. What is your favorite color? Food? Band? What was your first paying job? What was your first dog's name? Be sure to also get the correct answers! Give each question to a guest (the answer is on the back). She asks the bride the question, and then decides if the bride is telling the truth when she answers. The bride can bluff if she doesn't know the answer. If the bride misses, or the guest knows she is bluffing, the guest can select a small prize from a basket.
- If you give gifts to game winners, make sure you have enough for a tie, or think of a tiebreaker!
Set the Mood
- Gather items you will use and place them in a box until the morning of the party. Use items related to the theme. Examples:
- Spring wedding: Lots of spring flowers. Little pots of fresh herbs.
- Kitchen shower: Flower arrangement with kitchen utensils placed among the flowers.
- Linen shower: Use a pretty sheet to cover the gift table.
- Hearts and flowers and wedding bells are always good.
- The night before the party, set the table. Satin ribbons running the length of the table are simple and inexpensive. Use colors the bride has selected for her wedding.
Don't Forget
- When the guest of honor arrives, greet her with a "Bride To Be" button. Have a special seat just for her near the gift display.
- Make an extra copy of your original guest list. Write down the gift given by the guest's name. Give the list to the bride when the party is over.
