Undergraduate Education
Financial Aid for Undergraduate Students
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Purpose of Satisfactory Academic Progress RegulationsTo be eligible for federal, state and university aid, students are required by the U.S. Department of Education and the state of California to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward their degree objectives. In compliance with prescribed regulations, USC has established guidelines designed to promote timely advancement toward a specific degree objective.
The following guidelines provide academic progress criteria for all students receiving financial aid at USC. Although the requirements for students receiving financial aid are somewhat more restrictive than for the general student population, they are based on reasonable expectations of academic progress toward a degree. Accordingly, these guidelines should not be a hindrance to any student in good academic standing.
Financial Aid Programs Subject to Satisfactory Academic ProgressAcademic progress criteria apply both to recipients of financial aid programs created under Title IV regulations of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, as well as to recipients of those other programs used by the USC's Financial Aid Office to provide students with financial assistance. Specifically included are the Federal Pell Grant, Federal ACG Grant, Federal SMART Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Perkins Loan Program, and Federal Work-Study programs. These standards of satisfactory academic progress also apply to students maintaining eligibility for Federal Direct Stafford Loans and for Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans. Satisfactory academic progress standards also apply to students receiving state-supported grants, either within or outside California; to students receiving agency-sponsored assistance; and to students participating in all scholarship, grant, loan or employment programs provided through university funds.
Recipients of tuition assistance benefits and departmental awards who are not receiving any other federal, state or university funds are not bound by these guidelines.
Definition of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)At USC, satisfactory academic progress is defined by the following three criteria:
(1) Meeting a minimum grade point average requirement.
(2) Earning a minimum number of units for credit per semester (yearly progress).
(3) Completing the degree objective within a maximum number of semesters enrolled and a maximum number of attempted units (maximum time allowance).
Grade Point Average RequirementTo maintain satisfactory academic progress, students must meet the grade point average requirements for continued enrollment at USC, as stated in the Academic Standards and the Requirements for Graduation sections of this catalogue. See here (undergraduate).
Yearly Progress RequirementTo maintain satisfactory progress, undergraduate students must complete a minimum number of units for credit each semester as illustrated in the following table:
|SAP Semester Number
|Units Required Per Term
|Minimum Cumulative SAP Units Required
Satisfactory Academic Progress Semester NumberNew freshmen entering USC with no prior college credits begin at satisfactory academic progress (SAP) semester number 0.0. Entering students with prior college credits begin at their calculated SAP semester number explained in the Yearly Progress Requirement table. Thereafter, each semester in which a student attempts 6-11 units is counted as a 0.5 SAP semester. Each semester in which a student attempts 12 or more units is counted as a 1.0 SAP semester. Semesters in which a student attempts fewer than six units are not counted as SAP semesters.
Maximum Time AllowanceTo show satisfactory progress, students must complete their degree objective within a specified amount of time. The time frame will depend on the student's enrollment status and educational objective.
Undergraduate students in single-degree, four-year programs requiring 128 units are eligible for financial aid for a maximum of 144 total attempted units or a maximum of nine SAP semesters, whichever comes first. See the previous section for an explanation of SAP semesters. The allowances will be increased as necessary for single-degree, four-year programs requiring more than 128 units. Students pursuing a five-year, single-degree program or enrolled in a program of study leading to two diplomas will be eligible to receive financial aid for a maximum of 176 attempted units or 11 SAP semesters, whichever comes first.
The following guidelines have been established for students who change majors and for students pursuing a second bachelor's degree.
Students Who Change MajorsIf a continuing USC student changes from one major to another, a one-time-only reevaluation of the student's unit and semester allowances is made. The student, together with his or her academic advisor, must complete a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form and submit it to the Financial Aid Office. The maximum increase that will be made for any student is 16 units and one semester.
Students Who Declare MinorsIf a USC student declares or changes a minor program of study, no adjustment will be made to the student's unit and semester allowances. Minors must be completed within the same time frame as the student's major program(s) of study.
Students Pursuing a Second Bachelor's DegreeStudents pursuing a second bachelor's degree are eligible for a limited number of financial aid programs. Refer to the Financial Aid for a Second Bachelor's Degree section of this catalogue. Students seeking financial aid for a second bachelor's degree are monitored for satisfactory academic progress based on the following:
(1) Students who have received their first bachelor's degree from another institution will be granted a maximum of 64 additional units or five semesters, whichever comes first, to complete their second bachelor's degree at USC.
(2) Students who have received their first bachelor's degree from USC will be granted a maximum of 44 additional units or four semesters, whichever comes first, to complete their second bachelor's degree at USC.
(3) The maximum unit and semester allowances for a second bachelor's degree may be reconsidered if additional units are required for completion of a specific program of study. The student, together with his or her academic advisor, must complete a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form and submit it to the USC Financial Aid Office.
How Satisfactory Academic Progress is MonitoredSatisfactory academic progress is monitored for all students at the end of each enrolled semester. The Office of Academic Review monitors the minimum grade point average requirement as well as declarations of primary majors by the completion of 64 units. The Financial Aid Office monitors yearly progress and the maximum time allowance.
The following guidelines have been established for treatment of non-credit grades, repeated course work, transfer course work and summer course work.
Incompletes, Withdrawals, Repetitions, Remedial Work and Other Non-credit GradesStudents should be aware that academic units given grades of W, UW, IN, F, IX, MG, NC, NR, NP and V do not apply toward a degree. Students therefore exclude from their calculations of completed SAP units any classes in which they received these grades. Units awarded these grades will be counted toward the maximum time allowance. Please refer to the Academic Standards section of this catalogue for a detailed definition of these grades.
Students required to complete remedial work (Chemistry 040, Math 040, Physics 040, Composition 040, English 075) may apply up to 10 units of course work toward yearly progress unit requirements. These units are only counted for satisfactory academic progress (SAP) purposes and will not count toward graduation. Remedial course work will be counted toward the maximum time allowance. Semester and unit allowances will not be increased for students enrolled in remedial course work.
Repeated Course WorkAll repeated course work counts toward the student's maximum time allowance. The maximum unit and semester allowances for repeated course work may be reconsidered if repeated course work is necessary for basic degree completion. The student, together with his or her academic advisor, must complete a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form and submit it to the USC Financial Aid Office. Regular funding may not be available for repeated course work.
Course Work Completed Prior to Matriculation at USCStudents with a significant number of prior college credits are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office early in their academic career. All AP units taken prior to matriculation at USC will count toward the student's satisfactory academic progress (SAP) cumulative maximum unit allowance, but will not count toward the semester allowance. All other non-USC college credits taken prior to matriculation at USC will count toward both the student's SAP cumulative maximum unit and semester allowances. The non-AP transfer units are divided by 14 to calculate the number of SAP semesters the student completed prior to enrollment at USC. These numbers, subtracted from the student's maximum SAP unit and semester allowances, determine the number of units and semesters the student has remaining. This, in turn, determines the number of units required per term to maintain satisfactory academic progress (refer to the table in the Yearly Progress Requirement section).
Summer Course WorkUnits attempted at USC during the summer session will count toward the student's cumulative maximum unit allowance, and the term will count as a SAP semester. Transferable summer classes taken outside of USC are treated in the same way. Transferable summer classes will not improve a student's USC grade point average; only summer courses taken at USC can be used to improve the USC grade point average. Students are encouraged to consult with the Financial Aid Office regarding funding options prior to enrolling at USC for the summer, as regular funding is generally not available. Students are also encouraged to consult with their academic advisor regarding allowable transfer summer work prior to enrolling outside USC.
Non-Summer Classes Taken Outside of USC by a Continuing StudentOne hundred percent of non-summer session work accepted by USC for a continuing student will count toward the student's cumulative maximum unit and semester allowances. See here for residence requirements for courses taken in fall and spring semesters.
Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Academic ProgressThe Financial Aid Office will evaluate Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of every enrolled semester. Students who do not meet satisfactory academic progress requirements are notified, via email at their USC email address, by the Financial Aid Office. Students who have reached the maximum time allowance are ineligible for further financial aid. Students who are academically disqualified from the university are ineligible for further financial aid. Students who do not meet the yearly progress requirement are placed on a one-semester financial aid warning period.
Financial Aid Warning PeriodStudents on academic probation for GPA or those who do not meet the yearly progress requirement will be placed on a one-time, one-semester financial aid warning period. Students may continue to receive financial aid while in their one-semester warning period. Students who are placed on the financial aid warning period are encouraged to seek both academic and financial aid advisement. By the end of the financial aid one-semester warning period, the student must meet all satisfactory academic progress requirements. If, at the end of the one-semester warning period, the student does not meet the minimum requirements, he or she will no longer be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and will become ineligible for financial aid. Students will be allowed only one, one-semester warning period during the course of their enrollment. Students in their one-semester warning period who receive grades of D, W, UW, IN, F, IX, MG, NC, NR, NP and V will no longer be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and will become ineligible for financial aid. Only one, one-semester financial aid warning is available to students throughout their degree program. Students who subsequently fall below the standard will be considered ineligible for financial aid.
Regaining Financial Aid EligibilityStudents who have lost eligibility for financial aid due to insufficient GPA or lack of yearly progress can be reinstated by successfully completing sufficient units or bringing their GPA up to meet the accepted standards. The student must notify the Financial Aid Office once the requirements have been met.
Maximum time limitations may be appealed if there is an increased unit requirement for completion of a specific program, or if the student is pursuing a double major. Maximum time limitations will not be increased for a student pursuing a minor. The student and the academic advisor must submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form along with supporting documentation to the Financial Aid Office. Students who have changed majors may also request a maximum time extension, explained in the section Students Who Change Majors.
Students may appeal the determination that they are not meeting satisfactory academic progress requirements. The following can be considered: extended illness; one-time extenuating circumstances that have since been resolved; and enrollment limitations due to academic advisement. The student and the academic advisor must submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form with complete supporting documentation to the Financial Aid Office. The student must also provide a written appeal letter that includes the following information/explanation: (a) What caused the work at USC to fall below acceptable standards? Students should think carefully and be specific. (b) How have those conflicts been resolved? (c) How does the student intend to maintain good academic standards and progress toward his or her degree if the appeal is granted?
The appeal will be evaluated and the student will be notified of the decision. Appeal for insufficient progress and/or GPA are approved through the use of a semester-by-semester SAP Contract. Students placed on an SAP Contract are eligible for financial aid strictly according to the terms of the contract. The SAP Contract is a written agreement between the student, the academic advisor and the financial aid office, in which the student commits to following a specific academic plan. Reinstated eligibility through a contract can alter the quantity and quality of the financial aid for which a student is eligible. Any deviation by the student from the terms of the contract results in the forfeiture of future financial aid eligibility.
Students who have lost eligibility for financial aid due to an insufficient grade point average must obtain guidance from the Academic Review Office. If the student is readmitted to the university by the Academic Review Office following academic disqualification, the student must notify the Financial Aid Office for financial aid processing to resume.
Any student who is appealing his or her Satisfactory Academic Progress status must meet all financial aid application deadlines and other eligibility requirements and must regain eligibility before the end of the semester for which the aid is sought. Financial aid cannot be reinstated retroactively for a past semester. As with any type of financial aid appeal, Satisfactory Academic Progress appeals are funded on a funds-available basis.

I don't know what all the fuss over Mariano Rivera is about. The guy's been in the major leagues since 1995, and he's collected a grand total of zero hits in three at-bats, striking out once. That's just a day's work for Jason Bay.
Ah, but it seems he's pitched, too. I'll just click over to those stats and… Oh. My. God.
So Rivera's set to pack it in, with one more season before he does, one we can assume will be glorious, because for whatever reason, Rivera has one-upped Dorian Gray, not just freezing the aging process, but actually posting a better ERA+ in his 30s than his 20s, and then an even better ERA+ in his 40s. Somewhere, in an attic, there's a portrait of Mariano Rivera pitching like Doug Sisk.
But part of how I'll always think of Mariano Rivera, naturally, is to see him patiently waiting at the plate, drawing a walk that gave the Yankees an insurance run in a June 28, 2009 game against the Mets.
Mariano Rivera: clutch hitter.
The 2009 Mets got off to a reasonably strong start. The high-water mark was a May 29 win over the Marlins, 2-1, which pushed the Mets to 27-20 and into first place in the National League East, thanks to an Omir Santos homer. A gushing Omar Minaya praised Tony Bernazard following the game for finding Santos as he announced Ramon Castro had been traded for Lance Broadway. Good times all around.
A month later, the Mets were still hanging around, trailing the Phillies by 1.5 games, and at 37-36 overall, entering that Sunday night, June 28 game against the Yankees.
If you've forgotten, Chien-Ming Wang and Livan Hernandez each pitched well, with Livan managing six shutout innings after spotting the Yankees three in the first. Young center fielder Fernando Martinez had an RBI double to get the Mets on the board in the sixth, and two batters later, Luis Castillo drove him in to make it 3-2.
The Mets threatened in the eighth, David Wright and Fernando Tatis drawing walks against Brian Bruney. But Joe Girardi brought in Mariano Rivera to strike out Omir Santos.
So it was 3-2 Yankees into the ninth, when Francisco Rodriguez was called upon to keep the Mets within a run. Jorge Posada singled. Melky Cabrera hit into a forceout, then stole second. Brett Gardner walked, but Johnny Damon hit a long fly out to right. Up cam Derek Jeter, while double switches had Rivera hitting behind him.
The strategy was clear: walk Jeter, and force the Yankees to either concede the inning by letting Mariano "0-for-3 career hitter" Rivera bat, or pinch-hit for him and get the Mets a lesser opposing pitcher in the bottom of the ninth.
As so often happens, things worked out well for the Mets, and ultimately for the Yankees anyway. Rivera hit. K-Rod fell behind him, 2-0, got even, Rivera fouled one off to massive cheers, then drew a walk. Cabrera scored. Citi Field booed. The Yankees won, 4-2.
Rivera shut the Mets down in the ninth for his 500th save. But Rivera ended the game against lots of teams.
He only reached base once; it happened against the New York Mets.

By Tiffany Rider - Senior Writer
November 20, 2012 - The 2012 National Vital Statistics Reports, produced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cites the top five leading causes of death in women of all ages and races as (in order) heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
While researchers continue to search for a cure to each of these diseases, representative organizations and individual physicians preach prevention as the best medicine for long-term health. Most preventative measures for these diseases are based on lifestyle changes – quitting smoking, eating a more balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and increasing physical activity.
In addition to data from health associations, local and regional healthcare professionals offer insight on how these top five health problems impact women and what is being done to find a cure.
#1 – Heart disease
"Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, but the good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events in women may be prevented if they make the right lifestyle choices," Dr. Vyshali Rao, boardmember of the American Heart Association Greater Los Angeles Division and medical director of Huntington Hospital's Women's Heart Program, wrote in an e-mail to the Business Journal.
The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which can lead to heart attack, according to the CDC. Heart attack occurs when the heart muscle's blood supply is cut off by a blood clot in one or more pulmonary veins or arteries. Symptoms of heart attack include shortness of breath, chest pain, back pain, left arm or shoulder pain and feeling weak or faint.
When having a heart attack, physicians recommend immediately calling 9-1-1. According to Harvard Health Publications, chewing an aspirin speeds up the delivery of its antiplatelet effects, thinning the blood.
This is why heart attack survivors are recommended to take aspirin daily to help prevent future heart attacks.
"The American Heart Association believes that small efforts toward improving your heart health can lead to big outcomes and recommends simple steps, called Life's Simple 7, to prevent cardiovascular disease from happening in the first place," Rao said. "Get active, eat better, lose weight if you need to, stop smoking, control your cholesterol numbers, manage your blood pressure and reduce your blood sugar levels."
In agreement with Dr. Rao, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center cardiac nurse practitioner Cindy Peters told the Business Journal, "Stress and lifestyle choices are up there" in terms of risk factors. "We cannot do anything about our genetic background or our age, but we can stop smoking, increase physical activity and [improve our] diet."
Peters noted that obesity is a "huge factor," and that there are disparities among women of color as well. "There is much more hypertension in African American women and much more diabetes in Hispanic women than in the other two groups," she said. "They are not as savvy about heart attack. We've improved on women knowing that, but women of color are behind."
There is currently no cure for heart disease. "It's not like you can chew an aspirin and have your heart disease go away," Peters said. "What we are trying to do is identify risk factors ahead of time and control them."
#2 – Cancer
According to documented medical research, cancer is a group of diseases that impact humans on a cellular level, causing individual cells to multiply out of control. These cells tend to form a mass, or tumor, and the type of cancer is named for the area at which the mass originates.
According to the CDC, the three most common cancers among women are breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer. The top killer of women among those is lung cancer.
Lung cancer
While it is less common in women than breast cancer, it is twice as lethal, according to Dr. Robert A. Nagourney, oncologist with Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and founder of cancer-testing laboratory Rational Therapeutics in Long Beach.
"Lung cancer is associated with exposure to toxins and smoke," Nagourney said. The disease typically forms in the lung tissues in cells lining air passages. "However, more female non-smokers are beginning to show up with lung cancers caused by recently discovered gene mutations: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). They constitute 10 to 15 percent of lung cancers. It appears to be a genetic abnormality."
As the number of people who smoke diminishes, the percentage of people who develop cancer as nonsmokers will tend to increase, Nagourney said. For now, drug treatments for these genetic mutations are short-term solutions that could prolong life for anywhere between six months to a year before resistance. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that there will be 109,690 new cases of lung and bronchus cancer in American women in 2012. Of those, ACS estimates 72,590 will succumb to the disease.
"We now realize that lung cancer is not a disease but many diseases," Nagourney said. "We are also beginning to realize that there are very fundamental pathways in metabolism that may be associated with lung cancer. That type of work will begin to offer prevention of genetic mutation. Early diagnosis, better symptom/side effect control, and these unfolding discoveries that are showing us that cancer is comprised of different subsets . . . there are a lot of favorable findings on the horizon."
Nagourney noted screening techniques for prevention, such as the Spiral CT scan. "With intermittent screening, patients can reduce their mortality by 20 percent," he said. "People who are predisposed with smoking or toxin exposure should consider Spiral CT screening."
Colorectal cancer
The second least common cancer among women is colorectal cancer, but it is still more lethal than breast cancer. "We see more death from colorectal," Nagourney said. "That disease is associated with a relatively high rate of recurrence."
According to the CDC, colorectal cancer develops in either the colon or rectum, both of which are part of the digestive system. A colorectal cancer tumor typically takes 10 to 15 years to develop and begins as a noncancerous polyp. There are four stages of colorectal cancer: in situ, meaning the tumor has not yet invaded the wall of the colon or rectum; local, meaning the tumor has grown into the wall of the colon and rectum, but has not permeated through; regional, meaning the cancer has spread through the wall of the colon and rectum; and distant, meaning the cancer has also spread to other parts of the body.
Risk factors for colorectal caner include age, being at least 50 years old; personal history of colon polyps or cancer; personal history of inflammatory bowel disease; family history of colorectal cancer; type 2 diabetes and racial and ethnic background. Lifestyle-related factors are physical inactivity and smoking. According to the ACS, African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rate of all racial groups in the United States and Jews of Eastern European decent have one of the highest colorectal cancer risks of any ethnic group in the world.
ACS estimates about 103,170 new cases of colorectal cancer among both men and women in the United States in 2012. Of those, 51,690 are estimated to die from the disease. "The lifetime risk of being diagnosed with cancer of the colon or rectum is about 5 percent for both men and women in the U.S.," according to the ACS Colorectal Facts & Figures 2011-2013.
Nagourney said he thinks there is a likelihood of colorectal cancer being cured. "This cancer is very curable," he said. "To undergo a routine colonoscopy annually starting at age 50 can reduce the risk of death from the cancer. Colonoscopy and other preventative screenings are highly supported by the literature. When it comes to cancer, it is much easier to prevent [than to cure]."
Breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. The disease forms in the breast tissue and most cancer masses are benign, meaning they do not spread and are not life threatening. Breast cancer in situ tumors are found in the breast ducts or lobules connected to the nipple. In 2012, the ACS estimates 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnoses and 63,300 additional in situ cases. Of those, the ACS estimated 39,510 women would die of the disease this year.
Lillian Herrera, office manager of the breast health center at St. Mary Medical Center, said more women are surviving breast cancer due to increased education and lifestyle changes, as well as early detection and treatment. Treatment has "changed very much" over the years, she said, with more doctors opting to conduct minimal, non-invasive procedures on breast cancer patients who have non-aggressive cancers in the early stages.
According to the ACS Cancer Facts & Figures 2012, "Death rates for breast cancer have steadily decreased in women since 1990, with larger decreases in younger women; from 2004 to 2008, rates decreased 3.1 percent per year in women younger than 50 and 2.1 percent per year in women 50 and older. The decrease in breast cancer rates represents progress in early detection, improved treatment and possibly decreased incidence."
Doctors are promoting a healthy lifestyle rather than cutting off the breast to reduce incidence, Herrera said, and new clinical trials for treatment are coming out every day. Women also have the opportunity to get a genetic test to determine their likelihood of breast cancer development, but there's no guarantee, Herrera said.
While the typical age for women to begin mammograms has been 40, in 2010 the CDC Preventative Task Force decided to increase the age to 50. The healthcare industry reacted negatively to the recommendation, and many lobbied to have it reinstated to 40. The state cancer detection program listened, according to Gail Daly, COO of St. Mary Medical Center, and California reinstated that mammograms should begin at age 40.
"Early detection is key," Daly said. For women with a family history of breast cancer, mammograms should begin earlier – sometimes at age 30. St. Mary Medical Center's program, Every Woman Counts, allows women without insurance to get screened, and according to Daly the yearly enrollment has grown from 2007 to 2012. "It's remarkable that we've got a 61 percent increase in women having the screening done," she said.
In terms of developing a cure for cancers affecting women, Nagourney said ovarian cancer is the most likely due to its responsiveness to drug treatments. "That's a disease we can possibly cure," he said.
#3 – Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease
Chronic lower respiratory diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and less common diseases like pulmonary fibrosis. In 2009, according to the CDC, 72,234 women died of chronic lower respiratory diseases. This represented 5.9 percent of all causes of death among women that year.
Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis And COPD
Emphysema is a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe. The air sacs in the lungs are progressively destroyed. Chronic bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, or airways, to the lungs. The inflammation reduces the amount of air that moves through the bronchial tubes, causing excess mucus or phlegm to be produced.
The most common cause of both emphysema and chronic bronchitis is smoking, according to the CDC. Chronic bronchitis cases can also be attributed to bacterial or viral infections. Together these form COPD, which is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women, according to the American Lung Association (ALA).
"It causes serious long-term disability and early death," according to the ALA website. "At this time there is no cure for COPD. More than 12 million people are known to have COPD and up to 24 million may have the disease due to some not even knowing it."
Signs of COPD include constant coughing (sometimes called "smoker's cough"), shortness of breath, excess mucus or phlegm production, wheezing and difficulty taking a deep breath. The basic test for COPD is called Spirmetry, which includes blowing air into a mouthpiece attached to a small machine that reads the amount of air blown into the tube and the speed at which the air is blown. A complete health history and health exam helps support test results.
Severe COPD is treated with either partial or constant oxygen therapy, and in rare cases requires surgery. COPD and the diseases that support it – emphysema and chronic bronchitis – are preventable. According to the ALA, the most effective treatment for COPD among smokers is to stop smoking. Doctors may also prescribe an inhaler, allowing users to breathe in a steroid treatment that helps prevent swelling in the airways.
Pulmonary Fibrosis
While less common, pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a deadly respiratory disease that impacts up to 500,000 Americans, according to Mishka Michon, CEO of the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis based in Culver City.
"PF is fatal, so getting the word out in order to educate the public and help us put pressure on the government to find answers is absolutely critical," Michon told the Business Journal in an e-mail. "The word 'chronic' only applies to PF in that you can survive for a few months to a few years with it, but it is always progressing, and the average survival rate is only 2.5 years. The rise in diagnosis of women with PF only continues."
According to ALA, PF is scarring of tissue deep in the lungs, which makes it hard to breathe. The disease is marked by shortness of breath, a dry cough, gradual unintended weight loss, sleepiness, joint and muscle pain and sometimes clubbing – the growth and rounding of the fingertips and toes. Tests for PF can include a lung function exam, a chest X-ray, blood tests to determine oxygen levels, a lung biopsy, a CT scan and others. While some cases can be directed to a cause, most have no known cause. It can develop at a slow or rapid pace, and there is no cure.
According to a study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society in 2007, PF mortality rates have risen significantly in recent years to nearly 28.4 percent in men and at a higher rate in women, who have seen a 41.3 percent increase.
Treatments available are only short-term fixes and cannot reverse existing lung scarring. Lung transplant is considered for those with PF under age 65, are of good health and are not responding to medicines. However, Michon said only 1 percent of those diagnosed with PF have the opportunity for lung transplant, and survival is challenging.
#4 – Stroke
Lakewood Regional Medical Center internist Dr. Shivanand Polé works in the emergency room (ER) with stroke patients. He told the Business Journal that stroke is slightly more common in women, but because women have a longer life expectancy than men the incidence in women equals out over the course of their life. More than 800,000 people die in the U.S. from stroke each year, according to the CDC.
There are two types of stroke. Ischemic stroke, meaning blood flow to the brain is blocked by a clot, occurs in about 85 percent of stroke cases. Less likely is the hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.
Treatment for ischemic stroke within the first three hours of symptoms can help break up blood clots and result in minimizing harm. Hemorrhagic stroke is more difficult to treat; the only way to possibly stop the bleeding is surgery.
"If there is an aneurysm and they are bleeding after the stroke, and it's not related to lifestyle, then they do certain interventions like going to the arteries of the brain and blocking the artery that is bleeding," Polé said. "That is specifically for people with internal hemorrhage. This is a last resort method."
"Women have certain other risk factors than men," Polé said. "Usual risks are family history, smoking, having high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. But in women, some risk factors that are unique are taking birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy and chronic migraine." Smoking is also one of the major risk factors, as well as irregular heart rhythm. "People with irregular heart rhythm should be on a blood thinner like Coumadin or another anti-coagulant to prevent stroke," he said.
Common symptoms of stroke are sudden numbness, weakness, especially in the face and one side of the body, confusion, trouble speaking, there could be visual problems, lack of balance. "When someone has an acute stroke and is brought in the emergency room, they are treated with something called t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator)," Polé said. "It is a medication that breaks the clot and helps improve their outcome. If someone is treated in the first three hours with t-PA the outcome is very good. Very early recognition and coming into the ER can help save a lot of their brain function."
According to the CDC, at least one in eight stroke survivors has another stroke within five years. In those who survive, stroke can cause paralysis, speech difficulties and emotional problems.
"Patients who have had a mild stroke should realize how important it is to make lifestyle changes and to stay on aspirin every day," he said. "It reduces the chances of recurrence tremendously. Also, make sure they follow up with their physician to check on their blood pressure and cholesterol, and if they are diabetic they should be on top of that."
#5 – Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, which is the gradual decline of memory and interruption of normal thinking and behavior. The disease develops slowly, and over time there is a decline in overall function that can lead to difficulty conducting typical daily tasks – from buttoning a shirt to balancing a checkbook.
Behavioral changes occur as onset progresses and the impacted individual is less capable of daily living. It can lead to delusion, agitation, repetitive questioning, hallucinations and forgetting who they are, according to Debra Cherry, Ph.D, executive vice president of the Alzheimer's Association California Southland Chapter.
At the end stages of the disease, the affected person has a hard time coordinating the body to, for instance, sit in a chair. Toward the very end, swallowing becomes difficult and the individual can become mute.
"Pretty far into the disease people can retain very good social skills, even as they are losing their cognitive capacity," Cherry said. "All of this can happen as short as two or three years, or as many as 20 years."
Alzheimer's greatest risk factor is age. Most people are diagnosed after age 65, however Cherry said the association is seeing a growing number of younger people with the disease. "You are more likely to see it as a genetic disorder when it occurs in younger people," she said, or if the individual has had a head injury that lead to loss of consciousness. "When people get it later in life, say, in their 80s, it's more idiopathic."
More women are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease than men, Cherry said, mostly because women live longer than men but also in some areas that are controlled for age. "There is a hypothesis that there is a connection between estrogen and Alzheimer's," she said, noting that women who are on hormone replacement therapies are at greater risk of heart attack, stroke and vascular dementia.
"We can reduce our risk for Alzheimer's disease by doing many of the recommended heart healthy activities," Cherry said, "Exercise, a diet of low saturated fats, avoiding diabetes or managing it well if you have it are all recommended. Secondarily, staying engaged and cognitively aware." Unfortunately, some people can still follow the healthy lifestyle recommendations and still get the disease, she said.
There are cognitive tests for individuals showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. For those who are asymptomatic, an imaging test called a PET scan to observe any signs of the disease affecting on-brain tissue. As more individuals get screened, doctors can appropriately attribute deaths to Alzheimer's as opposed to being diagnosed with pneumonia or dying of old age.
"Federal investment in cancer is $6 billion; for heart disease it's $4 billion. Alzheimer's disease gets $0.5 billion from the NIH (National Institutes of Health)," Cherry said. "We've made great progress in AIDS, and we invest $2 billion in AIDS. I'm not saying we shouldn't support AIDS research. Alzheimer's is going to be the epidemic of the current century. This is the first time people have lived this long. The number of people with Alzheimer's in our country is going to double by 2030 and triple by 2050."

These are the adult swim goggles that provide superior suction and leak resistance. In real-world usage tests conducted by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, a panel of experienced swimmers lauded these swim goggles for creating a �complete watertight seal� and �not allowing any leakage after 10 laps,� unlike lesser models that �began to leak after only two laps.� The goggles fit the contours of your face comfortably and a button quickly loosens or tightens the strap for fast, easy adjustments. The tinted polycarbonate lenses block UV rays and filter 100% of blue light to mitigate distortion and improve depth perception and contrast. Intended for use by adults. 7 1/4" W x 1 3/4" H. (2 1/2 oz.)

This product was overall good and lead up to expectations. I really liked how it did not leak, but the anti fog Tec. could use som help, it dosse not really work.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. In regards to the anti-fog coating, each goggle is sprayed with anti-fog. Per the instruction manual, you should not wipe the inside of the goggle or the anti-fog will wipe off. Once the anti-fog has wiped off, you would have to reapply anti-fog spray.

Best goggles I have ever worn !
By Fuzzy
from Chapel Hill, NC
After decades of ill fitting and leaky goggles, I finally found a pair that makes swimming my laps fun again...
good fit, but anti-fog does not work
By aged lap swimmer
from Kentville, NS
good fit, but the anti-fog treatment is ineffective; to be fair, Hammacher made no claims for it, though instructions in the package mentioned the treatment; now what I need is a recommendation for anti-fog application that won't sting the eyes if water/sweat/tears mingle with it . . . .

These really are the best goggles
By Charliegal5
from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
I purchased 3 for my teen boys last May. They began wearing them in June, for daily, year round swim team. 1 pair had a strap that wouldn't hold no matter what. I decided to return that pair after 1 month vacation. In August, they were no longer on site for purchase. I couldn't find my exchange slip for weeks so just waited to even see if there was going to be a replacement available. I didn't see the goggles again until they surfaced for a great discount for Christmas. Although it really sticks that I was out all that money on that 1 failed pair previously purchased, I still went ahead and purchased 4 more pairs for Christmas. The 4th one for a friend of my boys as he always has problems with goggles. I'm sure that he will love these.2 of my boys have sensory issues and the one who has struggled with goggles for years, no longer struggles. Hope this is helpful. Keep your return label etc.
the goggles are the best I have found.

Swim goggles
By Gram Pat
from Cupertino, CA
I'm an 88 year old woman who swims laps three times a week. In these two years, I have never found a pair of goggles that don't eventually leak. It has something to do with the shape of my eye sockets or face. As a result I usually end up swimming with no goggles raather than put up with leaks. A friend suggested H S and I finally found goggles that can go the entire 1/2 mile with no leaksGreat product.Pat
Best Swim Goggles Ever...
By mermaid71
from Carson City, Nevada
I am a 71 year old female and have been swimming laps for over 40 years. These swim goggles are absolutely the best I have ever used. I need all the clarity I can get for good visibility. These provide what I need. Leaking water in past goggles irritated my eyes. These do NOT leak at all even after a 70 minute swim. They are comfortable to wear and the amber color lenses allow me to see even more clearly.
I'm buying another pair
By Swim Nana
from Delaware
I bought these goggles for my 13 year old granddaughter who is on a swim team. I was concerned that they may be for adults and would be too wide for her face.Wrong! They are perfect. They don't tug on her hair. The suction is good. No leaking. She isn't constantly adjusting them like she was with her old goggles. She puts them on and forgets them. She says the darkness of the lens took some getting used to but there is no glare underwater, no fogging and she sees alot better. She loves them!

Topic: OX-40 trial
I am a week away from the end of an OX-40 Phase I drug trial.
When I found out I had bile duct cancer (stage IV, unresectable) I just happened to be at a hospital whose research lab developed an OX-40 treatment, and was conducting a trial I qualified for. The trial is open to people with all sorts for tumors. It is the only treatment offering the possibility of long term immunity that I am aware of, in the US, for cholangiocarcinoma. It is my understanding that the other immune system drugs being tried in the US are more like drug therapy than inoculation. In the OX-40 trial you get 3 infusions in the first week, then tests & observation for the next 2 months. I had no prior treatment for cancer.
The tests they did after 1 month did not tell us much. Happily, all of my blood test results started out in the normal range, and have stayed there. The only thing they can get an image of is something in my liver that may be a cyst. That showed no change. If it is a cyst and not a malignancy, I may not know if the treatment had any effect at the end of the trial. I'll post again when I get the results.
The two big questions are, of course: Did this treatment reduce the amount of cancer in my body? and Will my immune system continue to destroy this nasty critter whenever it is encountered?
Here are some websites that have more info on OX-40 and the drug trial. The location is Providence Cancer Center in Portland Oregon.

Gamecock fans welcome home the back-to-back national champions
Mazalee Wilkerson was all decked out in a gray and white dress with a USC emblem, sitting in the front row at the Colonial Life Arena Wednesday afternoon, waiting for the Carolina baseball team to arrive.
She is just 14 months old, but this marked the second year she has attended the celebration for the national champions.
"She was here last year, too, when she was just a couple months old," said her mother, Carley Wilkerson, who drove to Columbia from Hartsville for the celebration."We wouldn't miss this for the world."
That feeling was all over the arena Wednesday, as nearly 12,000 cheering fans welcomed home the winners of back-to-back College World Series championships.
"We're here to celebrate the greatest team on the earth," said Gayle Douglas, a graduate student at USC. "This team seems to love each other. They love the game and they are a pleasure to watch. I almost wanted them to lose (Tuesday night) so I could watch them again."
Fans lined up early waiting for the arena doors to open at 4 p.m. Once inside they watched a replay of the national championship game on the big screens, cheered and batted beach balls around the arena.
Jackie Patterson got off early from her nursing job in Clinton to get to Columbia by 2 p.m. to find a good seat. ("My boss is a Carolina fan, too, so it was OK," she said.) Patterson said she loved the rapport and "never give up" attitude of the team. "I mean Christian Walker was playing with a broken bone. It's unbelievable. You feel like you're watching 'The Natural' or something."
She was sitting next to her friend Tiffany Grimsley, USC Class of 2003, who drove from Greenville for the celebration. "I've been a fan of the school since I was born and I've sat through some heart-breaking moments. I had to come for this. It's great, especially being from Greenville, when I get to wave the garnet flag."
One young fan, 3-year-old Manning Ruff of Irmo, held a poster showing Xs through pictures of Batman, Superman, the Hulk and Spiderman, and the words "Wingo is My Hero," a salute to Gamecocks second baseman Scott Wingo, who was named the most outstanding player of the College World Series.
As the word circulated that the team's bus had arrived shortly after 5 p.m., the arena started rocking with the "GAME-COCKS" chant. Then the familiar notes of "2001" filled the room and the coaches and players – holding the National Championship trophy – entered to thundering applause. The team paraded around the arena floor's perimeter, shaking hands, waving and smiling, as "We are the Champions," "Sandstorm" and the Carolina fight song blared. Many players filmed the outpouring of support that was evident all around them.
"What a team, what a family and what a series it was," said USC President Harris Pastides. "You have represented the University of South Carolina so well and you have made us stronger and better."
The cheers got louder and louder as several players and Coach Ray Tanner came to the podium to address the Gamecock faithful.
"We may not be the most talented guys on the earth, but we're the best team in the nation," pitcher Michael Roth said. As the fans chanted, "One more year," in hopes Roth will come back and play another year of college ball instead of moving on to professional baseball, he answered, "I leave for Spain on Friday, so I'm pretty sure I'll see you back here in August." The crowd roared.
Tanner called the Carolina fans the best in the country, saying they deserved to be back-to-back national champions.
"Other players, other coaches talk about you," he told the crowd. "We had the most support in Omaha from Gamecock Nation by far."
For those who didn't make the trip to Nebraska, the welcome-home party at the Colonial Life Arena was the next best thing.
"We couldn't make it to Omaha so we made it here," said Michelle Frady of Lexington.
The celebration isn't over. The city of Columbia will honor the team Friday with a parade down Main Street. "Last year we drew over 40,000 people. I know we can do better this year," said Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin.

The entire list
Audio Books
Kral Karadeniz TV: January 30th 2009
Adnan Oktar: The Turkish-Islamic World should continuously emphasize its goodwill, its love, its compassion; we especially have to make our Jewish and Christian brothers feel our determination of taking care of them that. So there will not be any reason for separation, we should make them feel that they are our dear brothers.
September 6th 2008: Egyptian Middle East News Agency
Adnan Oktar: The provisions of thepPeople of the Book are clearly stated in the Qur'an and actually the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas) is also very clear. The People of the Book are our brothers; Armenians, Jews, Orthodox, Protestants, all the Christian world, all of them are our brothers. We all believe in the same Allah, both with the Jews, He is the same Allah in both of the Christian world and in the Muslim world. They both have the same basic beliefs, so the existence of the pPeople of the Book is a blessing, instead of their being atheists or their being in other perverted movements, their being the People of the Book is a great blessing. This is not an irritating thing for the Muslims, it is extremely reasonable because Allah says in the Qur'an that the People of the Book already exists. There have nice things to do, Muslims have nice things to do. To live with them brotherly,to talk with them, to discuss, to chat, eat, drink, or even be married to Christians, Jews, in other words they are people with whom one can live a normal social life, so they are also people who are reliable. If a woman is a man's wife, if a man has children with that woman and if they live in the same family, this means a very strong friendship and love.
A9 TV: July 26th, 2012
Adnan Oktar: Christians are our brothers, Jews are our brothers.
We will eliminate the thoughtless anti-christ by allying with them; with science and wisdom. Our Prophet (pbuh) tells us in the hadith, Bediüzzaman tells us in the Risale-i Nur, we are struggling against the anti-christ with the Christians arm in arm, heart to heart and we are also committed to going forward with them. Christians are our dears, our brothers, our friends because he believes in the Prophets, he says "Allah is the only" in any case, he believes in the hereafter, he believes in heaven, he believes in hell. We ally against the anti-christ and we are allying and we will continue to ally. They are unnecessarily trying to show as if there is a disadvantageous atmosphere. Here they will say there is Jewish hostility to Muslims, as if there is Christianity hostility and the Muslims will go to war against both the Jews and the Christians, the world will be ruined. Here this is named anti-christ. Those who promote this are the Dajjal. The Mahdi will be collaborating with both the Jews and the Christians.
Aktif Haber, 11 August 2013
The Pope in his speech made in the Vatican addressed Muslims as "brothers" who are celebrating Eid al-Fitr and said he hoped that Muslims and Christians could work togehther to uphold mutual respect.

With the score tied in the fourth quarter, Florida needed a spark on offense. The Gators received it by turning another short throw into a big gain.
With the score tied in the fourth quarter, Florida needed a spark on offense.
The Gators received it by turning another short throw into a big gain.
Senior running back Mike Gillislee's 45-yard touchdown on a screen pass was the game-winning score in Florida's 14-7 decision over Missouri. Gillislee's first receiving TD of the season came as a result of a heads-up play call.
Florida coach Will Muschamp noticed Missouri brought pressure on second down throughout the game. Muschamp consulted with offensive coordinator Brent Pease, who called for the screen early in the fourth quarter on second-and-12 from the 45-yard line.
"Mike has got outstanding hands and it was well-executed by our offense and blocked extremely well down the field," Muschamp said. "I saw (Florida center) Jon Harrison was about 30 yards down the field blocking. So again that was effort and guys doing what they were supposed to do the way they were supposed to do it. I'm proud of that."
The Gators have used Gillislee more in the screen game of late. Last week, Gillislee had a 29-yard catch-and-run on a screen against Georgia.
"He's really dangerous in space," Harrison said. "I love him for that. When you think he's down, he's really not down. He's still going and we love that about him. He has a high motor."
Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel said the Gators work on screen passes extensively each Thursday in practice.
"It's paid off," Driskel said. "We've had some huge plays. Screens are going to have to be good for us, especially with the speed rushers that the SEC has."
Driskel and Harrison both said timing is a challenge in developing big screen pass plays. But it clicked for the biggest completion of the game against Missouri on Saturday.
"It means a lot because it's just another aspect to the offense that we weren't really establishing earlier this year," Harrison said. "If we can develop a screen game then we can have a screen, run and pass game. It will help us be more successful as an offense.' "

Abigail and Lolo are best friends living together in high school. But one thing is different: The girls are both friends with the popular band One Direction. However, in their small town of Aliols, the only people who are fans are Abby, Lolo, and the popular girls. But when two problems arise between Zayn and a popular girl's question for a date, and Niall is questioned about his friendship with the girls, everything changes. The girls and 1D alike are bullied at every corner, and not just by the popular people. And as One Direction gets ever more popular, the girls are hurt even more. And not just by their classmates.

I have been following previous work conducted by several forum members exposing the default network key algorithms of various routers (i.e. Sky V1/V2, BTHomeHub V1, Tiscali etc).
I have recently noticed that the BTHomeHub2 is becoming increasingly popular here in the UK and would like to try and secure some interest to assist in reverse engineering the algorithm in this baby. With such a large consumer base, any potential security defects should be explored in order to raise awareness of any exploitable problems.
If anyone has done any work on this, is willing to contribute, or has any decent suggestions then please reply!
Wikipedia info:-
At the time of writing there are 2 versions of the BT Home Hub 2.0. The A and the B model The hardware contained within the HomeHub v2.0A was manufactured by Thomson Speedtouch whom bought up Inventel and all their hardware and software rights. This model is electronically identical to the Thomson Speedtouch TG797n.
The hardware contained within the HomeHub v2.0B was manufactured by Siemens's Gigaset division in Germany. The middleware was developed by Jungo a subsidiary of NDS, and is based on their openRGTM product. The product is very similar to the smartBox sold by Orange Israel.
