Denise Dunovant, daughter of Teresa and Raymond (Dunnie) Dunovant of West Columbia, is a 2008 graduate with a degree in geography. While an undergraduate, Dunovant studied and conducted research in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda and was a Fulbright scholar in sub-Sahara Africa. She will use her NSF fellowship for graduate study in the United Kingdom.
Cynthia Krafft, daughter of Susanne and Gary Krafft of Woodruff, is a 2008 graduate with a degree in experimental psychology. She is studying the effects of exercise on the cognition of overweight children while pursuing a doctorate at the University of Georgia. She is also a graduate of St. Joseph Catholic High School in Greenville.
Elizabeth Dawn LaBone, daughter of Joan and Tom LaBone of Aiken, is a recent graduate of the South Carolina Honors College with a degree in biology. While an undergraduate, she was active in SAGE (Students Advocating a Greener Environment) and conducted research in USC's department of biological sciences. She is going to pursue a doctorate at LSU.

I also have an X110 and I had the same problem with Kubuntu (see topic 1017631 on ubuntuforums.org for details - couldn't link) - the keyboard/mouse wouldn't do a thing after the kernel booted up until I restarted it a couple of times.
Try booting with the kernel option irqfixup - it seems to have helped me. Not guaranteed - it might've been coincidental, but still definitely worth a try.
Hope this helps.

Seronil Withdrawal
Seronil Withdrawal Symptoms may include but not limited to:
aggression, anxiety, balance issues , blurred vision , brain zaps, concentration impairment, constipation, crying spells, depersonalization, diarrhea, dizziness. electric shock sensations, fatigue, flatulence, flu-like symptoms, hallucinations, hostility, highly emotional, indigestion, irritability, impaired speech, insomnia, jumpy nerves, lack of coordination, lethargy, migraine headaches / increased headaches, nausea, nervousness, over-reacting to situations, paranoia, repetitive thoughts or songs, sensory & sleep disturbances, severe internal restlessness (akathisia), stomach cramps, tremors, tinnitus (ear ringing or buzzing), tingling sensations, troubling thoughts, visual hallucinations / illusions, vivid dreams, speech or visual changes, worsened depression
(Fluctan, Prozac, Seromex, Serafem, Fontex, Fluoxetine)
Seronil (Prozac) is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). Serotonin influences the cardiovascular, renal, immune and gastrointestinal systems, and is essential to regulate body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and the sympathetic nervous system. The most common side effects of SERONIL are nausea, insomnia, anorexia, drowsiness, anxiety, nervousness, tremors and weakness, but a serious rash developed in 7% of patients in the clinical trials. Akathasia, or inner restlessness is also a common side effect of SERONIL.
SERONIL has a longer half-life than most antidepressants – meaning it stays in the body longer. Therefore the symptoms may take up to 25 days to appear. According to Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, "14% of SERONIL users will experience withdrawal symptoms." But he also believes many cases are missed due to the long half-life of the drug and therefore the numbers are much higher.
SSRIs mechanism of action is on Serotonin, a hormone also called 5-hydroxytrptamine, found in the pineal gland, blood platelets, digestive tract and the brain. Serotonin acts as both a chemical messenger that transmits nerve signals between nerve cells and causes the blood vessels to narrow. Serotonin makes blood clots form and is a muscle as well as a vasoconstrictor, but it also plays an important role in sleep, appetite, memory, aggression, sexual behavior, cardiovascular activity, respiratory activity, motor output, neuroendocrine and sensory function, and perception. According to Dr. Ann Blake Tracy, an increase in Serotonin produces rushes of insulin that drops blood sugar levels and can create a chemically induces hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Additionally, too much Serotonin damages blood vessels, particularly in the lungs and may adversely affect heart valves. This is because Serotonin is a powerful vasoconstrictor (narrows the blood vessels).
Consistently elevating Serotonin levels causes the stress hormones Cortisol and Adrenaline (Epinephrine) in the body and brain to be triggered by the adrenal glands. This natural reaction is the body's way to combat the excessive Serotonin levels. This boost produces a euphoric state and can be viewed as a lessening of depression. However, prolonged increases in Serotonin can cause adrenal exhaustion, where the Adrenals lose their efficiency, causing adrenaline to fall while Cortisol rises. Ultimately the Cortisol levels fall and lead to fatigue. Many SSRI users report fatigue, and it can take time for the Adrenal Glands to restore normal adrenaline levels after stopping antidepressants.
The eyes have significant levels of Melatonin, and the precursor to Melatonin is Serotonin, which is derived from the amino acid tryptophan, which converts to 5-HTP first and then to Serotonin. Within the pineal gland, Serotonin is used to yield melatonin. Therefore, Serotonin also dramatically alters the sleep-wake cycle since Serotonin activity gradually decreases as one becomes drowsy and enters slow wave sleep (non-REM sleep). During REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement), or dream sleep, Serotonin activity falls completely silent. It returns to its basic level several seconds prior to the end of REM sleep, which occurs in 90-100 minute cycles. REM alternates with Non-REM about 4-5 times during the night. During non-REM sleep, there is a lot of movement, but during REM sleep, only the eye muscles move. This may explain why so many SSRI users report bizarre, vivid dreams.
It is estimated that 95% of our Serotonin is produced in the gut region, where it triggers digestion. Nerve cells in the gut also use Serotonin to signal back to the brain, where it trains us not to eat certain foods by communicating pain and gas. This second brain is an independent network of over 100 billion neurons that signals our bodies to stress, but can also cause illness if the stomach is unhealthy, since the majority of our immune cells line the gut walls. The high concentration of Serotonin in the stomach region is why antidepressants commonly have side effects that include nausea, weight gain and stomach upset.

Jihadists now control secretive U.S. base in Libya
A key jihadist leader and longtime member of al Qaeda has taken control of a secretive training facility set up by U.S. special operations forces on the Libyan coastline to help hunt down Islamic militants, according to local media reports, Jihadist web forums, and U.S. officials.
In the summer of 2012, American Green Berets began refurbishing a Libyan military base 27 kilometers west of Tripoli in order to hone the skills of Libya's first Western-trained special operations counter-terrorism fighters. Less than two years later, that training camp is now being used by groups with direct links to al Qaeda to foment chaos in post-Qaddafi Libya.
Last week, the Libyan press reported that the camp (named "27" for the kilometer marker on the road between Tripoli and Tunis) was now under the command of Ibrahim Ali Abu Bakr Tantoush, a veteran associate of Osama bin Laden who was first designated as part of al Qaeda's support network in 2002 by the United States and the United Nations. The report said he was heading a group of Salifist fighters from the former Libyan base.
In other words, Tantoush is now the chief of a training camp the U.S. and Libyan governments had hoped would train Libyan special operations forces to catch militants like Tantoush.
One U.S. defense official told The Daily Beast that the media report matched U.S. intelligence reporting from Libya. Another U.S. official in Washington said intelligence analysts were aware of the reports but had yet to corroborate them, however. A spokesman for Africa Command declined to comment for the story.
Tantoush himself on Tuesday evening gave an interview to Libyan television where he confirmed that he was in the country and staying with his family. He also denied any links to the former U.S. special operations base.
According to one U.S. official who is read into the training program, the camp today is considered a "denied area," or a place where U.S. forces would have to fight their way in to gain access. Until now, the Western press has not reported that the base used to train Libyan special operations forces was seized by the militants those troops were supposed to find, fix and finish.
The fact that the one-time training base for Libyan counter-terrorism teams is now the domain of terrorists is a poignant reminder the United States has yet to win its war with al Qaeda, despite the successful 2011 raid that killed its founder and leader.
This is particularly true for Libya. Since the 9/11 anniversary attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, jihadist groups and al Qaeda's regional affiliates have been gaining territory throughout Libya. News that a veteran like Tantoush is now in charge of a military base only 27 kilometers from Libya's capital shows just how much the security in Libya has deteriorated.

YUCAIPA - In a packed classroom at Yucaipa High School, more than 30 students have their cell phones out, and no one is getting in trouble for it.
"This is probably the only class on campus where (adults) won't scream if they have their phone out," teacher Mark Watkins said, looking out over one of his two sessions of cell phone app programming.
Yucaipa High may be the only high school in the nation offering a year-long course in programming the ubiquitous programs found in the pockets of billions of people around the world.
"I've heard there are six-week seminars, after school or one-semester things. But as far as year-long things, I think we're it."
The class programs for the Android platform, as it's cheaper and easier to get started - the class does most of its work in the free App Inventor program built by MIT - but Watkins hopes they can expand to Apple's iOS platform, which runs on iPhones and iPads, in the spring.
The class brings together hardcore computer programmers with newbies who simply love their phones.
"We had almost 80 kids try to get in this class," Watkins said. "Their world revolves around their phones."
App Inventor uses object-oriented computing: Pre-built sections of computer code are represented as blocks the students assemble together to create a functioning program. Later in the year, Watkins intends to peel back the object-oriented computing model to give the newer programmers a deeper understanding of how programming works.
"I've got a couple kids who are a few miles down the road, a few that don't get it, and about 50 in the middle."
The class has built about 14 apps so far this year. At the moment, the class is working on creating a pachinko game - a Japanese game resembling pinball where steel balls drop from the top of the game and bounce off a set of pins. The pachinko projects range from simple affairs with white backgrounds and fitfully blinking pegs to more elaborate affairs depicting balls bouncing off Christmas tree ornaments or black spots on the surface of Jupiter.
"They've gone from touching a kitty on the screen and the kitty meows to having objects interact," he said. Soon, students will be incorporating GPS data into their apps.
Watkins has been teaching computer science since 1997. This isn't the first time he's expanded the school's computer science curriculum: The district previously supported his idea of starting up a 3D graphics class. The class went on to become a standard part of the computer science curriculum at Yucaipa High.
Adding an app development class was a no-brainer, he said.
"I kept seeing the world being more and more app-driven."
While many of his students are just in it for the fun of it, others are aware of the commercial possibilities of selling their own apps.
"I want a career in the field," said senior Dominic Champion-Stucker. He's already built an app to help his fellow Thunderbirds get to class on time.
"The bell schedule is really iffy here. I basically made this for myself."
An experienced programmer, Champion-Stucker intends to major in computer science in college.
"I've never worked with apps before, so it's been useful," he said.
Senior Tim McDowell has an entrepreneurial streak already - he operates a mobile electronic device repair business and carries business cards in his wallet.
"I figure I might as well learn the basics here and go on from there."
His dream job: working for Apple.
"Heed my warning," Watkins calls out as the bell rings and students file out for their next classes. "Pass your other classes - this is the elective they take you out of."

I was reading The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers and they only have fastball and slider listed ha his pitches. I find it hard to believe a starting pitcher would only have two pitches. Does anyone know what type of pitches he really used?
I was reading The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers and they only have fastball and slider listed ha his pitches. I find it hard to believe a starting pitcher would only have two pitches. Does anyone know what type of pitches he really used?
I believe Mario Soto only had 2 pitches, but don't quote me as I am not 100% sure. It is not the number of pitches that is important, but how well you command them
Often he actually turned it out on the release so it dived and ran away from lefties (sort of a screwball action). And it never seemed to run straight. Always moved;sometimes horizonally; sometimes vertically and as above sometimes both.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
So does anyone know if Nuxhall had more than a fastball and a slider?
I believe Wilson pitched a no hitter in one of the games but lost it on an unearned run. Joe I think allowed 1 hit in that one. The other one was won by Houston. I think Joe and Don both had 1 hitters in that affair. It may have gone to extra innings and been settled by other pitchers. (Either I was not quite old enough then to remember it now or so old now I used to remember but can't any more).
Back when Joe was playing, the Reds home night games started at 8pm. Joe was such a notoriously slow starter that one of the jokes was "hold the 8 o'clock bus to Hamilton until 8:10 so Nuxhall can catch it if he has a bad 1st inning". Never doubt that Joe knows of which he speaks when he says "if you are going to get this guy, you better get him early."
Ken Johnson itched the no hitter, Nellie Fox made an error the reds won, Johnson pitched not Wilson
My best Nuxhall story though is not a major league baseball story.
Several years back when Joe's autobiography was published, my father was in his final days. He was something of a contemporary of Joe's and had been a pretty fair high school, legion, then semipro catcher himself for several years.
One way or another after his debut with the Reds at age 15 and playing some in the minors, Nuxhall had gotten his amateur status at least partially restored (to borrow a phrase, it is in the book) and played locally for a year or two before going back to his pro career. During this period ny father had faced Joe a time or two in either an American Legion or Semipro game.
When my father was in his last month of life he went to one of the book signings Joe was having in the area. My dad was in a wheel chair. They had Joe on a temporary stage with no handicap access. When my dad's turn came, somebody with the store started to take the book and hand it up to Joe; but, Joe saw the situation and came down off the stage to sign the book and have a few words with my dad. I wasn't there myself but whatever Joe said about what he remembered made my dad's day and then some. That turned out to be my dad's last outing; and thanks to Joe, I think it gave him a very special memory to savor in his last couple of weeks.
I too, am showing my age with this story. In the early '60s, I caught a foul ball thrown by Nuxhall to Maury Wills, at Crosley Field. It had a rather large area of spit mixed with tobacco juice on it. Years later I had a chance to meet Joe and I re-told my story to him. He laughed, and readily admitted to thowing the spitter, especially later in his career. He said the last one he threw was to Richie Allen in Philadelphia and it still hasn't come down! So, add the spitter to his collection of pitches.

How do you allow the data collection?
Would still like it to access the contacts on my phone. Not just google contacts.
Is there a tweak to make google maps the "default" maps app instead of the apple maps app?
Hell, I used an Android phone after finding out how terrible maps from Apple was. I rely too heavily on it day-to-day to suffer through what Apple thought was a shippable product in iOS maps.
I use this app quite a bit, really loving it

The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, included 144 overweight or obese men and women. To qualify for the study, they had to have stage 1 hypertension, or prehypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure of 130 to 159 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure of 85 to 99 mm Hg. They were randomly assigned to:
The people in the DASH diet groups received instruction and support for eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low- or non-fat dairy foods, while limited in fats and sodium. Those in the weight loss group were also instructed in behavioral strategies and ways to think about food to modify eating habits, and participated in supervised 45-minute exercise sessions three times per week.
The results:
"The DASH diet with or without a behavioral weight loss program results in clinically significant reductions in blood pressure. Adding exercise and weight management to the DASH diet also appears to confer even greater reductions in blood pressure as well as additional improvement in… other markers of cardiovascular risk," lead study author James Blumenthal, PhD, professor of medical psychology at Duke University, said in a press release.
So, if you are managing high blood pressure, work with your doctor to create a program that includes these important basic steps:

Those darn recyclers at it again and again. The authorities need to make the recycling companies that buy copper and other scrap metals accountable...if you buy stolen property you pay the price. And believe me the scrap dealers know if the material they are buying is stolen...just look at the seller. You know right off if the low life has 100 or 200 pounds of new copper wire to sell.
The trouble is the scrap dealer turns a blind eye to the situation and just wants to profit from the deal.

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
An offer has been accepted for Pictou Lodge.
Provided all the paperwork goes through the historic resort, which has hosted such notable persons as Babe Ruth and Condoleezza Rice as well as British Royalty, could have a new owner later this month.
Sources have told The News that the offer which has been accepted was made by Brad Langille, one of the co-owners of the facility before it went into receivership.
Wes Surrett, general manager of the lodge, said he could not confirm whether or not that was true, but said he is happy to hear that he may soon be able to open.
He's already been busy talking with chefs and other workers in the hopes that the deal will go through.
"It's great news," he said. "I'm doing everything I can to get ready in case this does go through…It does look promising right now."
The resort was originally built in 1926, and once owned by CN Rail. It was placed under the control of Grant Thorton in February, the official receiver appointed by the Royal Bank. While in receivership the business continued to accept bookings in the anticipation of finding a new owner for the 2013 season.
The oceanside seasonal resort employs more than 60 full-time and part-time staff during full operations.
Over the last several years, under new ownership, the resort has gone though several major upgrades but with the event of an unfortunate fire in June of 2011 in the kitchen, the business was never able to recover from the negative working capital shortage created from the fire.
Substantial cost overruns from the rebuild, challenges with adequate insurance coverage and delays in completing renovations in time for the start of the 2012 season were all blamed for the poor financial position.

Williams Sworn-In As GSA's Regional Administrator for National Capital Region
December 3, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - At a special ceremony this morning, Virginia native Donald Carey Williams was sworn-in as Regional Administrator for the National Capital Region by GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry.
"Donald's ability and commitment are important assets to the Bush Administration," Mr. Perry said. "His experience in the private and public sectors will be a tremendous benefit for GSA as he steps forward in his role as our Regional Administrator in the national capital area."
In his role as principal executive for the National Capital Region, Mr. Williams will head a GSA workforce of 1,867 associates across the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Headquartered in Washington D.C., GSA's National Capital Region has an annual operating budget of nearly $1.9 billion and a real estate portfolio that includes 171 government-owned buildings and leased space in 430 commercial buildings.
Mr. Williams' career reflects extensive experience in supervising real estate transactions, construction review and oversight and procurement and surplus property functions gained from his most recent post as Director of the Department of General Services for the Commonwealth of Virginia, the state equivalent of GSA. He also gained considerable management experience from within the private sector, working at the Ford Motor Company for 10 years. While at Ford, Mr. Williams was assigned to the Distribution Office of Ford Division and, prior to 1978, was an accountant within the assembly division.
"To be selected to serve our nation at this historic time is truly a high honor. I am grateful to President Bush and Administrator Perry for giving me this opportunity to lead the impressive staff of the National Capital Region. It is my goal that we will be known as the organization that enables our customers to succeed," Mr. Williams said.
Mr. Williams graduated magna cum laude from the University of Richmond's School of Business Administration in 1976. He later graduated from Old Dominion University in 1979 with a master of business administration degree.
A longtime resident of Chesapeake, Virginia, Mr. Williams also previously served as Director of the Chesapeake Division of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and as Planning Commissioner for the City of Chesapeake. He and his wife, Nancy, currently reside in Chesterfield County, Virginia. They have two sons, Thadd and Carey. Mr. Williams and his family are members of St. Matthias' Episcopal Church in Midlothian, Virginia.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Netflix, DreamWorks team for kids series
Based on the upcoming DreamWorks Animation film Turbo [pictured], the Netflix programme Turbo: F.A.S.T. (Fast Action Stunt Team) debuts exclusively this December in the US and across the globe.
Netflix, Inc. and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. have announced that they will create the first ever Netflix Original Series for kids to debut later this year.
Based on the upcoming DreamWorks Animation film Turbo, about an ordinary snail who embarks on a journey to compete in the Indianapolis 500, the Netflix series Turbo: F.A.S.T. will pick up where the film ends and follow the same characters.
"Families love Netflix, so creating an original series for kids was a natural for us. And we're doing it in a big way by adapting Turbo, this year's DreamWorks Animation summer tentpole movie," commented Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix.
"DreamWorks Animation has a long track record of creating incredibly successful characters and stories that delight people of all ages. We're thrilled to add Turbo the series as well as all new DreamWorks Animation films, starting with their 2013 slate, to Netflix."
DreamWorks Animation's CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg added: "Netflix boasts one of the largest and fastest-growing audiences in kids television. They pioneered a new model for TV dramas with House of Cards, and now together, we're doing the same thing with kids' programming. DreamWorks is thrilled to be part of the television revolution."
Turbo: F.A.S.T. debuts exclusively this December in the US and across the globe in the 40 countries where Netflix offers its service. In addition, new DreamWorks Animation feature titles will be made available for Netflix members in the US to watch, beginning with the studio's 2013 film line-up.
Turbo is released in the US on July 19.

PDF: Letter signed by Mayor Pete Aguilar
Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar threw his support behind gun reforms when he signed the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition letter in late December.
Aguilar, a member of the coalition, joined mayors in Los Angeles, Lancaster and a number of other Southern California cities on Wednesday to show support for President Barack Obama's call for Congress to adopt the most sweeping gun law reforms in more than 20 years, including universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and large ammunition clips.
Aguilar plans to submit a resolution to the city Human Relations Commission and ultimately the City Council in support of principles to reduce gun violence, he said.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a member of the national Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign, met with a group of students from around the region who support tougher gun laws.
"We know, because we've been through this before, through the passage of time, resolution to change withers," Villaraigosa said at a City Hall news conference. "This time, we cannot allow that to happen."
About 700 members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign signed the December letter shortly after the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, calling for stricter gun controls nationwide. Among them were the mayors of San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga.
Villaraigosa said he supports the package presented by Obama, adding he will seek to have his city's three pension funds divest themselves of any money invested with arms or ammunition manufacturers.
"I don't want to see the city make one quarter, not one dime, from the manufacturers of these weapons of war," Villaraigosa said.
He said he was asking for a report on the extent of the investments and what would be involved in any divestment strategy.
When he was speaker of the state Assembly, Villaraigosa was the co-author of legislation banning the sales of assault weapons and Saturday night specials.
"California should join with New York in again becoming a national leader on this issue," Villaraigosa said.
The New York Legislature this week adopted a series of tough measures designed to control gun sales.
While many mayors around Southern California supported the president's proposals, Highland Mayor Larry McCallon, a conservative Republican, said he would support increasing federal grants to hire school officers but opposes the other major elements of the Obama plan.
"I think the Second Amendment rights are pretty clear and that the last bans they did on assault weapons didn't do anything," McCallon said. "You can't control human behavior by banning weapons. The Newtown incident is not going to be resolved by doing anything about guns. We need to put people in schools to protect the children.
"I think the tracking goes too far. I think we have pretty good registration going on right now."
However, Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris, who owns several guns including an assault weapon, said he would be willing to give it up.
"In light of recent events, why we let people have access to assault weapons without stringent controls is beyond me," Parris said, adding his views have changed since the Newtown school shootings. "I'm willing to give up my weapons if it means our children are safe."
Parris also raised questions about whether teachers should be armed because of the training that would be needed.
"Unless you have the proper training, I suspect they would have died even sooner than they did," Parris said. "It's difficult to be put in those situations without the proper training."
Palmdale Mayor James Ledford said he also supports the president's proposal, particularly as it relates to background checks.
"I own weapons and the process I went through was not unreasonable," Ledford said. "I think we have a serious disconnect when it comes to mental health issues and that seems to be a common denominator in these cases."
Ledford said he also does not object to an assault weapon ban.
"I'm not quite sure what someone would use it for," Ledford said. "I think a reasonable person should be open to a conversation to try to find a reasonable solution.
San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris called the president's plan "a good first step."
"Background checks for all gun sales," Morris said. "It's very important to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Very common sense. Those weapons are only made to kill people. They're not used for hunting."
Morris is bothered that handguns are not being discussed.
"It is the tragedy of handguns that most concerns me as a mayor," he said.
Morris also said it's critical for the federal government to continue funding of the COPS grants program, which has been used to supplement the Police Department, which has had major cuts because of the city's financial problems.

- Main article: Working women
Until modern industrialized times, legal and cultural practices, combined with the inertia of longstanding religious and educational traditions, have restricted women's entry and participation in the workforce. A traditional dependency upon menfolk, and consequently the poor socio-economic status of women have also restricted their entry into the workforce. Particularly as occupations have become professionalized over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, women's meagre access to higher education has effectively excluded them from the practice of well-paid and high status occupations. Entry of women into the higher professions like law and medicine was delayed in most countries due to women being denied entry to universities and qualification for degrees. For example, Cambridge University only fully validated degrees for women late in 1947, and even then only after much opposition and acrimonious debate.[1] Such factors have all conspired to confine women to low-paid and poor status occupations for most of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Restrictions on women's access to and participation in the workforce include the wage gap and the glass ceiling, inequities most identified with industrialized nations with nominal equal opportunity laws; legal and cultural restrictions on access to education and jobs, inequities most identified with developing nations; and unequal access to capital, variable but identified as a difficulty in both industrialized and developing nations.
Although access to paying occupations (the "workforce") has been and remains unequal in many occupations and places around the world, scholars sometimes distinguish "work" from "paying work". Analyses distinguishing between unpaid work and paying work have led to the frequently cited slogan "Women do two-thirds of the world's work, receive 10 percent of the world's income, and own 1 percent of the means of production", which has come to capture the imbalance between work and remuneration faced by women.[2] This analysis considers uncompensated household labor — for instance, childcare, eldercare, and family subsistence farming — as well as compensated work in the workforce.
Areas of studyEdit
The division of labor by gender has been particularly studied in women's studies (especially women's history, which has frequently examined the history and biography of women's participation in particular fields) and gender studies more broadly. Occupational studies, such as the history of medicine or studies of professionalization, also examine questions of gender, and the roles of women in the history of particular fields.[3][4][5]
In addition, modern civil rights law has frequently examined gender restrictions of access to a field of occupation; gender discrimination within a field; and gender harassment in particular workplaces. This body of law is called employment discrimination law, and gender and race discrimination are the largest sub-sections within the area. Laws specifically aimed at preventing discrimination against women have been passed in many countries; see, e.g., the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in the United States.
History and present-day status of women in the workforceEdit
The 1870 US Census was the first US Census to count "Females engaged in each occupation" and provides an intriguing snapshot of women's history. It reveals that, contrary to popular belief, not all American women of the Victorian period were either idle in their middle class homes or working in sweatshops. Women were 15% of the total work force (1.8 million out of 12.5). They made up one-third of factory "operatives," but teaching and the "gentle" occupations of dressmaking, millinery, and tailoring played a larger role. Two-thirds of teachers were women. Women could also be found in such unexpected places as iron and steel works (495), mines (46), sawmills (35), oil wells and refineries (40), gas works (4), and charcoal kilns (5) and held such surprising jobs as ship rigger (16), teamster (196), turpentine laborer (185), brass founder/worker (102), shingle and lathe maker (84), stock-herder (45), gun and locksmith (33), hunter and trapper (2). There were five lawyers and 24 dentists, but as yet no doctors.
Barriers to equal participationEdit
As gender roles have followed the formation of agricultural and then industrial societies, newly developed professions and fields of occupation have been frequently inflected by gender. Some examples of the ways in which gender inflects a field include:
- Prohibitions or restrictions on members of a particular gender entering a field or studying a field;
- Discrimination within a field, including wage, management, and prestige hierarchies;
Note that these gender restrictions may not be universal in time and place, and that they operate to restrict both men and women. However, in practice, norms and laws have historically restricted women's access to particular occupations; civil rights laws and cases have thus primarily focused on equal access to and participation by women in the workforce.
Access to educationEdit
A number of occupations became "professionalized" through the 19th and 20th centuries, gaining regulatory bodies, and passing laws or regulations requiring particular higher educational requirements. As women's access to higher education was often limited, this effectively restricted women's participation in these professionalizing occupations. For instance, women were completely forbidden access to Cambridge University until 1868, and were encumbered with a variety of restrictions until 1987 when the University adopted an equal opportunity policy.[6] Numerous other institutions in the United States and Western Europe began opening their doors to women over the same period of time, but access to higher education remains a significant barrier to women's full participation in the workforce around the world. Even where access to higher education is formally available, women's access to the full range of occupational choices is significantly limited where access to primary education is limited through custom.[7] The Girls Global Education Fund estimates that this situation actually worsened over the last half of the twenty-first century, finding that in 1950 there were 38 million more boys than girls enrolled in secondary education, but by 1998 there were 82 million more boys than girls.[8]
Access to capitalEdit
Women's access to occupations requiring capital outlays is also hindered by their unequal access (statistically) to capital; this affects occupations such as entrepreneur and small business owner, farm ownership, and investor.[9] Numerous microloan programs attempt to redress this imbalance, targeting women for loans or grants to establish start-up businesses or farms, having determined that aid targeted to women can disproportionately benefit a nation's economy.[10] While research has shown that women cultivate more than half the world's food — in sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, women are responsible for up to 80% of food production — most such work is family subsistence labor, and often the family property is legally owned by the men in the family.[10]

Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is a rare, but serious complication of a heart valve replacement procedure. The complication occurs when a blood clot called a thrombus is attached to or near a prosthetic heart valve. This can obstruct blood flow or interfere with the function of the valve.
Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is a medical emergency.
Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is thought to result from an interaction between components of blood and the prosthesis or blood flow in and around the prosthesis.
Factors that may increase your chance of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis include:
Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may be done.
Images evaluate your heart and surrounding structures. These may include:
Your bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
The first line of therapy is usually thrombolysis, which are medications that break up abnormal blood clots.
Anticoagulant medications are used to control clotting. Anticoagulation therapy may be used alone in people with small clots that are not obstructing the heart valve.

REDLANDS - The University of Redlands and Recording Artists Against Drunk Driving, or RADD, are partnering against student drinking and driving.
U of R will partner with local bars and restaurants that students frequent to offer incentives and rewards to students and other adults who serve as the designated driver for their friends.
Alcohol-related accidents continue to be a one of the leading causes of death in college-aged young adults, according to RAAD program director Marian Novak.
"One beer, two beers - if you're the one drinking do not get behind the wheel," said Novak.
Drinking and driving is a growing concern on campus according to Tom Sponheim, graduate management intern for intramurals and wellness programming.
He said the number of alcohol-related transports to the hospital have increased this school year.
"We want to curve that as quickly as possible," Sponheim said. "The goal is for students to embrace the role of being a designated driver."
More than 240 Southern California establishments donate incentives and rewards to students and other adults who serve as the designated driver for their friends.
Among other schools participating in the program are Cal State San Bernardino and UC Riverside.

Star Trek
Star Trek collectively refers to an American science-fiction franchise spanning six unique television series (which comprise 726 episodes) and thirteen feature films, in addition to hundreds of novels, computer and video games, fan stories, and other works of fiction — all of which are set within the same fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry during the mid-1960s. Since its debut, Star Trek has become one of the most popular names in the history of science fiction entertainment, and one of the most popular franchises in television history.

- As it turns out, it is possible to name a movie or two, in which the captain or supervisor or organization aren't a blithering idiots. The Fugitive, The Silence of the Lambs, and Apollo 13 all show institutions and public officials functioning well. Incidentally, they were all big hits. One of the core differences between Star Wars and Star Trek lies in how those two franchises treat the question of civilization. In the cosmos of George Lucas, not a single institution is shown functioning or doing its job. Once. At all. Ever. In contrast, Trek always loved to chew on questions like when and how the social compact might work, or fail, or need adjustment, or call for flexibility, or be handled differently by alien minds. Civilization — along with its laws and codes and contradictions — is often a major character in each show. A participant, subject to scrutiny, skepticism, but also sometimes praise. But of course, Star Trek always was an exception to every rule.
- David Brin [1]
- I would have loved to have done a Star Trek crossover. The very first year, we talked about it. Then Star Trek finally went off air. Landing the Tardis on board the Enterprise would have been magnificent. Can you imagine what their script department would have wanted, and what I would have wanted? It would have been the biggest battle.
- Skinny Pete: What do you think all those sparkles and shit are? Transporters are breaking you apart right down to your molecules and bones. They're makin' a copy. That dude who comes out on the other side? He's not you. He's a color Xerox.
- Badger: So you're telling me every time Kirk went into the transport he was killing himself? So over the whole series, there was, like, 147 Kirks?
- Skinny Pete: At least. Dude, no, why do you think McCoy never liked to beam nowhere? 'Cause he's a doctor, bitch! Look it up, it's science!
- Breaking Bad Blood Money written by Peter Gould
- Moore: Star Trek has very, very strong bones. The original concept was just very strong and, at the same time, flexible. You could play a lot of different kinds of stories in the idea of a starship boldly going, arriving in a new society, a completely alien world. You could play with a whole series of sets of problems and adventures with a starship crew and this society and then leave at the end of the episode and go do it again next week. There's just a huge canvas of stories you can tell. You can just keep riffing on that. It wasn't such a challenge to reinvent it. Even J.J.'s work… there just had been so much Star Trek by that point that it kind of needed to wipe the slate clean and start over. It wasn't that Trek lacked imagination; it was just that the franchise had been burdened down by its own continuity.
- Interviewer: Frank Hunt asks: What were the most important lessons you took away (as a writer and producer) from your time working on Star Trek?
- Moore: That it's all about the characters and that you really have to be willing to dig into the characters and make it about the people and understand them. That means sitting in rooms for hours on end and arguing about who these people really are. It's about trying to challenge the characters and challenge yourself. It's really the lifeblood of television. It's what it's all about. People tune into these shows again and again not for the plot of the week and not because they want to be wowed by visual effects. They tune into the show because they fall in love with the characters. They fall in love with Kirk and Spock and Sisko and Janeway and Picard and Data. They want to see those people again. So it's all about the characters, and that's the most important thing I learned at Trek.
- Ronald D. Moore [3]
- Believability is everything, is it the most essential element of any Star Trek story.
- The destiny of Google's search engine is to become that Star Trek computer, and that's what we are building.
- Amit Singhal, the head of Google's search rankings team, at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival Julian Assange apolitical futurism
- 'Star Trek' fans totally accepted my sexual orientation. There are a great number of LGBT people across 'Star Trek' fandom. The show always appealed to people that were different — the geeks and the nerds, and the people who felt they were not quite a part of society, sometimes because they may have been gay or lesbian. 'Star Trek' is about acceptance and the strength of the Starship Enterprise is that it embraces diversity in all its forms.
- Well, you know, Star Trek and the Starship Enterprise was supposed to be a metaphor for Starship Earth. It was supposed to be an idealized representation of what our society should be. In our society, we have a lot of minorities. Asians, African-Americans, women getting on the upward mobility escalator. They're making progress going up, whether it's in the professional world or the business world, or in other various careers. But the problem seems to be that think called the glass ceiling. They make it up to a certain point and then it stops. I kept lobbying to the powers that be at Paramount saying to them, "if Starfleet is to represent that ideal, you just can't keep giving us advances in rank." By that time I was a Commander. The movie before that I was a Lieutenant Commander, but I was still there at the helm punching those same buttons. I said to them, "it's very important that if we are supposed to be that kind of bright, eminently capable people...professionals....we have to get that advancement. We have to be able to show that this idealized society truly works. It's very important than, that we see one of the characters moving up and becoming a captain. Of course, my character being Sulu, I lobbied most vigorously for him. Finally after 25 long years of lobbying, we were able to reach that idealized representation of Starfleet. The glass ceiling doesn't exist with Starfleet. He was a captain then.

Expectations were high on the heels of making the NCAA Tournament last season, so when Long Beach State crumbled during the Big West Conference men's basketball tournament, then subsequently crashed and burned in the NIT, it was tough to take.
Now LBSU coach Dan Monson has no choice 49ers' head coach has but to figure out how to come back from a season filled with annoying inconsistency with a group of physically talented players. Monson admittedly had to stay on top of everything anything from academics to time management to boxing out on rebounds.
All along Monson told anyone who would listen - especially his players - that being able to play with consistency in three consecutive games is what it takes to win the conference tournament championship and get the automatic berth in the NCAAs.
The 49ers lost to UC Irvine in the semifinals and had to settle for the booby prize - the NIT. Then they went through the motions in a humiliating 112-66 loss to Baylor in the first round a week ago in Waco, Texas.
It was indeed embarrassing, and Monson said so afterward. Monday, he pondered that as well as the prospects for next season.
"You always, as a coach, evaluate what you did during the season and what you need to do better next year," said Monson, who just finished his sixth season at the helm and has three years left on his contract. "And I certainly think there is room for improvement. People say this was a disappointing year, in a way kind of makes me feel good in that you win the league and yet people say our program should do better; that means we've grown a long ways here.
"I don't have a problem with that because my expectations are to win the league every year and go to the NCAA Tournament and we fell short of that."
Monson said his team did a lot of good things, including winning the regular-season conference title with four new starters, two of whom didn't even play until the beginning of the conference schedule because they were midseason transfers.
"Yet as a coach I failed in the fact that I could never get them as consistent as they needed to be," Monson said. "I don't think there is any doubt that there were times when we were good enough to obviously go to the NCAA Tournament. I mean, we beat every team in our league at least once. But to get them every day to practice and to work on what they needed to do on a consistent basis, we just never got there."
It's time to move on. Gone are seniors James Ennis - this week named mid-major All-America - and Peter Pappageorge. Due back for their senior seasons are guard Keala King, forward Tony Freeland and post Dan Jennings. Among others slated to return are juniors-to-be point guard Mike Caffey and reserve wing Kris Gulley and guard Deng Deng, who will be a sophomore. A big key to success next season could be guard Tyler Lamb, a 6-foot-5 midseason transfer from UCLA (and Mater Dei High) who will be eligible after first semester grades are released next season in December.
King, Freeland, Jennings and Caffey started this season and could make up four-fifths of the starting lineup next season.
Monson pointed out that it took the 2011-12 team four years of being together to make it to the NCAA Tournament, and this team will not be afforded that luxury as three of those four are transfers; Jennings began his career at West Virginia.
Monson is hopeful, however, that a lot can be learned from this season's dance-less effort.
"It's hard for them to understand that coming from the Big East (Freeland transferred from DePaul), coming from the Pac-12 (King transferred from Arizona State), that it's not going to be easier and I think they almost have to live that and experience it," Monson said.
"It doesn't matter where you are in Division I, when you hit league, it is hard. And when you hit a league tournament, the intensity goes up. As a coach, you can tell them all you want. But they have to live it to really understand it."
Long Beach State, which finished 19-14, also will have back guards Branford Jones and Javion Watson. Jones took a medical redshirt this season after breaking his leg in the season opener, and Watson is a regular redshirt and both will play as freshmen.
"That will bolster our guard play a little bit, depth-wise," Monson said, "and then hopefully we can get some guys developed and then add a front-line player to kind of strengthen what we have."
Monson said he couldn't talk about any recruits in particular at this time, but that he is hopeful the April signing period will bear fruit.
