The Legislature of the state of California authorized the establishment of this University in 1960, and the first students were enrolled in the fall of 1965. The campus is strategically located in the heart of a major technological, industrial and transportation complex. Moreover, it is central in a population that is international and multi-ethnic, and the people of this area are genuinely heterogeneous; cultural pluralism is a major characteristic of the University. At the same time, there is a continuing focus on the Hispanic heritage of California.

Accreditation and Approvals
The Western Association of School and Colleges' (WASC) Handbook of Accreditation, January 2001 (page 8), states that voluntary, nongovernmental accreditation of both institutions and programs is a unique characteristic of American education that establishes standards of quality and effectiveness. The specific purposes of accreditation are:
- To assure the academic community, the general public, and other organizations and agencies that an institution/program has clearly defined objectives appropriate to higher education;
- To encourage institutional/programmatic development and improvement through self study and periodic evaluation by qualified peer professionals;
- To promote institutional engagement with issues of educational effectiveness and student learning and to develop and share good practices in assessing and improving the teaching and learning process;
- To promote a culture of evidence where indicators of performance regularly developed and data collected to inform institutional decision making, planning, and improvement;
- To develop systems of review and evaluation that are adaptive to institutional context, build on institutional evidence and support rigorous review; and
- To promote interchange of ideas among educational institutions/programs through peer review.

"[up arrow] Energy conservation: The one clear winner as oil creeps toward $200 a barrel."
So declares Newsweek.com's Conventional Wisdom for May 22.
THE only clear winner? That may be a talking point suitable for Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, but it's hardly THE only clear winner for solving America's energy problems, that is, unless your "conventional wisdom" leaves out the views of conservatives.
How about drilling in ANWR, removing barriers to offshore drilling, and building more refineries? All of those are solutions furthered by conservatives in Washington, but which apparently don't dawn on the editors at Newsweek.

As email marketers, we spend a lot of time worrying about our messages. Are we sending the right message, at the right time, to the right person? Is everything rendering properly? What's the most eye-catching subject line? And are these darn things even making it into the inbox?
With so much focus on messaging, it's easy to forget about the foundation of your email program—the quality of your email list. If your messages have been failing to produce the results you want, spend some time analyzing your list itself. You can start with this checklist:
How was your list acquired?
- Did you buy it? If you bought some or all of your email addresses, you are probably having trouble getting into the inbox right now. This is no surprise—bought lists are always of dubious quality, and even if the folks on that list have opted in for "third-party communications," this is nothing like a real opt-in where they are giving your brand permission to contact them. Take the money you're putting into buying emails and use it instead to generate quality signups on your website.
- How long ago did they join your list? Your most recent subscribers will also usually be your most engaged subscribers as well. If you haven't been adding quality subscribers to your list recently, your open and click-through rates will suffer simply due to the aging of your list. Every time you send, you lose subscribers to opt-outs, changes of address, emails going invalid, etc. Make sure you're always devoting the necessary resources to replenish and grow your list.
- What did you promise them? If you did ask people to opt in to your list, you may still have a problem with expectations. For example, if your subscribers opted in based on a promise of special deals and promotions, and you haven't delivered on that promise in a while, then you're not meeting their expectations. Make sure you're sending your subscribers the content that they opted in to receive.
Have you kept your list clean?
- Are you removing bad email addresses? If an email address is invalid or has bounced 3 times or more in a row, that email should be permanently removed from your list. In addition, if your list is very old and/or unresponsive, you may want to run it through an email list cleaning service such as Fresh Address or StrikeIron to remove spam traps and other harmful addresses.
- Have you reengaged inactive subscribers? If a subscriber has not opened one of your messages in more than 6 months, that subscriber is hurting your engagement statistics. Segment out inactives into one reengagement group, then send them an email asking if they still want to receive your messages, with a big link or button to click for "yes." Send this message 2 or 3 times if no response on the first: Keep the ones that click and lose the rest.
Once you assess the quality of your email list using the above checklist, implement strategies around each of these 5 measures of list quality. Building a quality email list is a long-term investment. The sooner you commit to making that investment, the sooner you'll see your campaigns performing well again.

Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
Daniel Ellsberg began his career as the coldest of cold warriors-a U. S. Marine company commander, a Pentagon analyst, and a staunch supporter of America's battle against Communist expansion. But in October 1969, Ellsberg-fully expecting to spend the rest of his life in prison-set out to turn around American foreign policy by smuggling out of his office the seven-thousand-page top-secret study, known as the Pentagon Papers, of U.S. decision making in Vietnam. Now, for the first time, Ellsberg tells the full story of how and why he became one of the nation's most impassioned and influential anti-war activists-and how his actions helped alter the course of U.S. history. Covering the decade between his entry into the Pentagon and Nixon's resignation, Secrets is Ellsberg's meticulously detailed insider's account of the secrets and lies that shaped American foreign policy during the Vietnam era. Ellsberg provides a vivid eyewitness account of the two years he spent behind the lines in Vietnam as a State Department observer-an experience that convinced him of the hopelessness of Johnson's policies and profoundly altered his own political thinking. As Ellsberg recounts with drama and insight, the release of the Pentagon Papers, first to The New York Times and The Washington Post, set in motion a train of events that ultimately toppled a president and helped to end an unjust war. Infused with the political passion and turmoil of the Vietnam era, Secrets is at once the memoir of a committed, daring man, an insider's expos of Washington, and a meditation on the meaning of patriotism under a government intoxicated by keeping secrets.

Splendid Sapphire: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review by aussiecruzer
Overall Member Rating
Splendid Sapphire
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
We made a point of always using the stairs rather than the elevators to get some exercise, and I think we saved time this way too. I made regular use of the More walking track forward on Deck 15, 10 rounds equals a mile - great view at the front of the ship, and we spotted a pod of dolphins leaping, and a couple of whales spouting all whilst walking. The gym has lots of treadmills and other equipment and scales at the entrance( in pounds and kilograms). Water temperature in the pools was lovely, though I thought the hot tubs were a bit too hot. I tried the adult pool at the lotus spa, swimming against the current but found it not strong enough..I kept reaching the end of the pool!
We had anytime dining, and we like to eat early so we would turn up at the Savoy dining room each evening at around 5.30 and were always seated straight away. WE enjoyed the elegance of the Savoy. We requested the same waiters after a couple of nights and this was no problem. We found the food to be well presented and served beautifully. Buffet food was OK, nothing special. My daughter enjoyed the pizza and hamburger stands on deck 14, and I discovered that the hot dog/hamburger grill made lovely waffles and omelettes in the mornings. Nice to eat outdoors.
We particularly enjoyed the entertainment on board- the production shows "Do you Wanna Dance", Piano Man, and Farewell Showtime were all excellent, and the Comedian Carlos Oscar very very funny. We did not enjoy Steve Morris's comedy as much, but the crew show was great - some amazing talent in the crew. We went on a backstage tour one day which was very interesting. We especially enjoyed the karaoke competitions held in Club Fusion - some very talented passengers too! We also enjoyed the Salsa and Jive dance classes held in Club Fusion...my husband learnt some new moves!
By far the best night was Fiesta night with an outdoor party held poolside on deck 14. The band (Extreme) was amazing and the entertainment staff got everybody up and dancing. The atmosphere was wonderful and we danced the night away under the stars till almost midnight. Extreme would play at the Explorers lounge at other times and we always enjoyed their music. And later at night we would dance at Skywalkers nightclub.
One thing I really liked about Princess cruises is their laundry facilities.
Very cheap $1 for a wash load and $1 to dry a load of washing. You need 4 quarters, but there is a machine which dispenses change from a dollar bill.
And the best bit...free ironing boards- you can pop in any time and iron out a few creases before getting dressed for formal night - so convenient!
After 8 pm several drinks are $2.99 in all areas, we grew to love our Pina Coladas, but I believe Singapore Slings and Long Island Tea was also available, as well as house spirits.
I found there to be a good mix of age groups on board. My daughter attended Remix, the teen club on the first night for registration and the opening at 10 pm. I would strongly recommend attending on the first night as bonds were formed then which lasted for the duration of the cruise. She made some lovely friends and was never bored- happy to hang out with her cruise buddy's. In fact most evenings we would not see her after dinner till midnight! The teens would mainly hang out at the Remix club rooms on Deck 15 or at the ping pong table. She is still keeping in touch with these friends on Facebook.
Disembarkation was a bit slow- we were given 9.40 as a disembarkation time, and had to vacate our cabins by 8 am so there was a bit of waiting around.
Once we were finally off the ship, we had booked Sav-on-Shuttle to take us to our hotel, but we ended up having to wait almost an hour for our shuttle to arrive. Taxis were plentiful and in future I would just take a taxi. There is a sign at the taxi stand with suggested prices - eg, LAX $57 for 1-7 passengers, so it could be worth sharing a cab with some other passengers.
All in all, and excellent cruise which I would highly recommend. Less

"The problem of the twentieth century
is the problem of the color line."
The Souls of Black Folks
by W.E.B. DuBois
"From that time I looked out through
other eyes, my thoughts were colored..."
The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man
by James Weldon Johnson
The students are analyzing
the Childhood and Manhood paintings in The Voyage of Life series
by Thomas Cole.
In Childhood, a boat emerges
from a dark cavern into a serene dawn landscape. A golden haired
baby, accompanied by an angel in white with a glowing halo of light,
holds out his arms, joyfully welcoming the glowing, beautiful world.
In Manhood, the child has
lost his youthful innocence--his hair has turned dark. The verdant
landscape has given way to bare rocks and black, gnarled trees.
It is no longer smooth sailing--the water has grown dark and treacherous;
the upper sky is ominously dark; the fiery lower sky is streaked
with inky rain. Far away, the angel of light is hidden from the
desperate man by a ring of dark clouds.
The students discuss the emerging patterns of symbolism. In Old
Age, near death, the now whitehaired man in his battered
boat rests on dark waters as the dense, dark clouds part and rays
of light engulf him. A guiding angel of light gestures towards other
beckoning white angels, each smaller than the last, disappearing
into unfathomable distance, into the glowing white space which is,
presumably, heaven.
For many years I used Coles intricate American landscapes
to introduce students to symbolism and allegory in painting. Students
see how the artist used the time of day, the season of the year,
and the darkness or lightness of sky, vegetation, hair, and water
to construct meaning. In Coles allegory, light and white are
associated with innocence, joy, beauty, and transcendence; darkness
symbolizes trouble, sin, fear, and evil.
Studying this work, students learned a pattern
of symbolism that is useful for interpreting much Western art and
literature. I now believe they were also learning a pattern of interpretation
that has deep symbolic and actual connections to the tradition of
Western racism.
Consider for example, Joseph Conrads classic novel of a Europeans
encounter with Africa, Heart of
Darkness. Here darkness is associated with the unknowable,
the irrational, the primitive, and the chaotic; light is a symbol
of reason, order, and progress. Such associations created the historical
concept of the white mans burden to bring order
and reason to dark places and thus the justification
for the dominance of white cultures over the civilizations of people
of color.
Teaching Color Symbolism
In American elementary and high schools, teaching about color usually
begins with students painting color wheels and value scales. This
paradigm of teaching, based on such color theories as those of Josef
Albers and Johannes Itten, emphasizes a systematic and experimental
approach to studying the effects of color.
There is a strong tendency for teachers to
continue speaking in the language of scientific certainty when discussing
the symbolic meanings of colors.
Blue is described as peaceful and soothing, red as stimulating,
yellow as cheerful and eyecatching. Black is said to mean somberness
and death; white is viewed as the essence of purity. Particular
color preferences and associations are thus validated in the students
minds as not merely habitual and customary, but as natural and instinctive.
While scientific evidence may confirm some such propositions
yellow, for example, is at the middle of the visible spectrum and
thus does draw our attention there is no anthropological
or biological evidence that confirms the universal validity of commonly
taught color symbolism.
Opening our classrooms to learning about other cultural constructions
of color meaning, may sometimes provide surprising information.
Recently in a college seminar, a student shared her discomfort with
the use of yellow in a design because in her native Korea a strong,
bright yellow is associated with unease and foreboding. The other
students were shocked to discover that their sunny and cheery yellow
associations were not universal connections.
When students learn that brides do not wear white in all cultures,
that white is associated with mourning in India, or that in the
Mexican festival of Dia de los Muertos bright colors are used to
celebrate the dead, they broaden their understandings of the symbolic
use of color. However, these alternate color associations are still
often perceived as invented iconography in contrast to the more
familiar, seemingly natural, symbolic associations of Western culture.
Students (and many other people) will argue
that the privileging of light over dark is not culturally determined,
but is a universal tendency.
The black is beautiful slogan of the 1960s and 70s Black
Power movements brought the racial implications of this symbolism
to public consciousness and reinforced black pride by challenging
the symbolism of value. Unfortunately such challenges to the habitual
devaluing of blackness did not result in overall cultural change
in the way dark and light are symbolically perceived.
As a teacher today I am faced with a quandary.
Deliberately avoiding teaching artwork utilizing dark/light symbolism
leaves students unprepared to understand much traditional and contemporary
culture; uncritically teaching such work encourages students of
all races to internalize and perpetuate a symbol system of racial
hierarchy that supports cultural, political, and economic injustice.
We could easily drop Thomas Cole paintings from the curriculum,
but can we exclude Goyas The
Execution of the Third of May in which the brightly lit,
vulnerable and individualized victims are contrasted to the firing
squad of dark, menacing, undifferentiated figures? Even if we exclude
from the school curriculum all artworks and literature that rely
on offensive symbolism, our students will still encounter such symbolism
daily in cartoons, traditional fairytales, and everyday expressions.
Whose Culture? Whose Connections?
Sometimes it is difficult for white students and teachers to understand
how culturally specific their color associations and reactions are.
In bell hooks fascinating essay Representing Whiteness
in the Black Imagination, she describes her terror as a black
child having to traverse a white neighborhood and the relief of
seeing her darkfaced grandfather sitting on his porch waiting for
her. hooks discusses how presenting a black perspective causes anger
in some white people, because they believe that all ways of
looking that highlight difference subvert the liberal conviction
that it is the assertion of universal subjectivity (we are all just
people) that will make racism disappear.
Hooks believes that this suppression of difference, of not acknowledging
widely varying responses to a situation, is yet another form of
oppression. She quotes Richard Dyers (1988) observation in
White that, Power in contemporary society habitually
passes itself off as embodied in the normal as opposed to the superior
Thus, unexamined and unchallenged assumptions
about the normalcy of color associations become a vehicle for reinscribing
racially charged symbolism into current consciousness.
The Middle Passage: White Ships,
Black Cargo by Tom Feelings vividly presents another sensibility
regarding dark/light symbolism. Feelings spent twenty years creating
a masterful series of narrative drawings that tell the story of
the capture and enslaving of African peoples and their terrible
enforced journey across the Atlantic Ocean. All of the images are
black and white shaded drawings that skillfully reinterpret conventional
western black and white symbolism from an Africanist perspective.
The book shows scenes of the encroachment of white terror on a peaceful
black village, vulnerable black bodies before a looming white fort,
white clad African collaborators with the European slave trade,
and Yemaya, the comforting dark spirit mother of the sea, cradling
her black children enclosed within the horrific pale slave ship.
One of the especially interesting cultural twists is a re-working
of Goyas Third of May
composition in which dark humans are victimized by the lightbathed
There are no words in The Middle
Passage. Its story is told in pictures alone. Tom Feelings
explained this choice: I realized that there were inherent
problems in dealing with words to describe the Black experience.
If you pick up a dictionary there are over 90 negative connotations
for the word black. Its the opposite for white.
I wanted to see if, as an artist, I could use images to get past
the racist programming (p. 6). Feelings images help
students to rethink the naturalness of conventional black and white

Inevitably, the charity tennis event at London's Battersea Park was heralded as a "love doubles" match, even though mixed doubles are notoriously taxing on marriages and other loving relationships. John Lloyd and his more famous wife Chris Evert Lloyd were paired against Bjorn Borg and Fiancee Mariana Simionescu, who plan to be married in July. Between hugs, pats, kisses and giggles, the foursome played reasonably serious tennis, with Chris and John winning, 6-4, 6-3. For that they were awarded $93,000, while the losers won $60,500. Charity got $35,000, leading some to wonder why...

One of most high-profile trials over copyright infringement in years began today in Sweden. Four men behind The Pirate Bay website which enables people to find others willing to share audio, video, games and other files with them appeared in court in Stockholm to answer the charge that they had assisted in copyright infringement.
The film, music and games industries are saying that the defendants not only encouraged copyright infringement but also profited from it, while the defendants argue that they hosted no shared files and therefore are not responsible for infringement.
The Pirate Bay is a "torrent" tracker, which uses the peer-to-peer file sharing technology called BitTorrent. Trackers don't host the music, video or software files themselves, but allow users to search for and download "torrent" files. Those in turn allow users to find other people who have the file they want, and to share the files amongst themselves. Each BitTorrent user with a copy of the file contributes a piece to others who are downloading it.

Generic Name: eletriptan (EL-e-TRIP-tan)
Brand Name: Relpax
Eletriptan is used for:
Treating migraine headaches with or without aura (flashing lights, wavy lines, dark spots) in adults. It is not used to prevent migraines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Eletriptan is a serotonin 5-HT1 receptor agonist ("triptan"). It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain, which helps to relieve migraines.
Do NOT use eletriptan if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in eletriptan
- you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or severe liver problems
- you have certain types of irregular heartbeat (eg, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome)
- you have or have had hemiplegic or basilar migraine headaches
- you have a history of ischemic heart disease (eg, angina, heart attack), coronary artery disease (CAD), brain blood vessel disease (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack), or other blood vessel disease (eg, Raynaud syndrome, ischemic bowel disease)
- you have taken ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, nelfinavir, clarithromycin, troleandomycin, or nefazodone within the last 72 hours
- you have used an ergot alkaloid (eg, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine) or another "triptan" migraine medicine (eg, sumatriptan) in the last 24 hours
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using eletriptan:
Some medical conditions may interact with eletriptan. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have gone through menopause or have had a hysterectomy
- if you are a male who is older than 40 years old
- if you have a history of heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver or kidney problems, diabetes, or other types of headaches (eg, cluster headaches)
- if you are overweight or if you smoke
- if a member of your family has had heart problems, blood vessel problems, or a stroke
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with eletriptan. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (eg, duloxetine) because the risk of a serious side effect called serotonin syndrome may be increased
- Clarithromycin, ergot alkaloids (eg, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine), itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, telithromycin, troleandomycin, verapamil, or another 5-HT1 agonist (eg, sumatriptan) because they may increase the risk of eletriptan's side effects
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if eletriptan may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use eletriptan:
Use eletriptan as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- An extra patient leaflet is available with eletriptan. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
- Take eletriptan by mouth with or without food.
- It is best to take a dose of eletriptan as soon as you notice symptoms of a migraine attack.
- If your migraine symptoms go away and then come back, you may take a second dose as directed by your doctor. Wait at least 2 hours between doses.
- If your symptoms do NOT improve after the first dose, do not take a second dose for the same attack. Contact your doctor.
- Do not take more than the amount prescribed by your doctor in a 24-hour period or treat more than 3 headaches within 30 days without checking with your doctor.
- If you miss a dose of eletriptan and you still have a headache, follow your doctor's dosing instructions. Contact your doctor if you are unsure what to do if you miss a dose. Do not take eletriptan more often then prescribed. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use eletriptan.
Important safety information:
- Eletriptan may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or weakness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use eletriptan with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Overuse of eletriptan can cause your headache to become worse. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use more often than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Eletriptan should not be used to prevent or reduce the number of migraine headaches you have. If you have a headache that is different than your usual migraine headaches, check with your doctor before using eletriptan.
- Rarely, serious heart problems (eg, heart attack, irregular heartbeat) have been reported within a few hours of using eletriptan. Contact your doctor at once if fast or irregular heartbeat; chest, jaw, or neck pain or numbness; sudden, severe nausea or vomiting; sudden, unusual sweating or weakness; shortness of breath; fainting; or vision changes occur. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.

Post the revelation that 12 known command-and-control (C&C) servers for Duqu were found with all files deleted on Oct. 20, 2011, it has been confirmed that there is no more hacking being done. This revelation has been made by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab.
It has been found that as soon as the attackers got to know about the Duqu Trojan in October, they secretly tried to remove every single trace of their activity from all their command and control servers.
It is being believed that Duqu is a Trojan horse-based botnet which shares common code and characteristics with Stuxnet. Being developed by hackers, Duqu is told to be attacked by some other country which could have vested interest in the files stores in the Linux servers.
There were reports earlier about Stuxnet which had destroyed Iran's nuclear program, but Duqu was not made for that purpose. It was made to keep a track on vulnerable installations and computer networks which could trigger the development of another worm targeting industrial control systems.
It has come to the notice during the investigation that hackers had removed every single server they had used as far back as 2009, and further, they checked it again if they have deleted all the stuff perfectly or not.
"The logical assumption here is that we're looking at possibly a vulnerability in the older version and/or an added feature in the new version that's of use to the attacker", said Roel Schouwenberg, a Kaspersky senior researcher. It has been known that along with the command and control servers in India and Belgium, Duqu had been associated with servers in Vietnam and the Netherlands,
As of now, no clue about the hackers behind Duqu and Stuxnet is found as they planned their each move very smartly, however, significant efforts have been made by Kaspersky researchers on the same.

UCSF Fresno Only California Program Named in Nationwide Model AAMC Study
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) will be sending a team to Fresno on March 6, 2002 to study the success of the University of California San Francisco, Fresno Medical Education Programs' regional medical school campus. The purpose of the study is to understand the structure, organization, operations and management of US medical schools' regional campuses. UCSF Fresno is one of only ten medical school programs nationwide asked to participate in the study and the only regional campus selected in California.
"We have been asked to participate in this prestigious study because UCSF Fresno has built a national reputation as a provider of quality educational services and innovative programs," said Deborah Stewart, MD, and UCSF Fresno Professor of Pediatrics. "By being highlighted in this study, UCSF Fresno will help shape how doctors of the future are educated."
There is a lot of interest in models of medical education in which communities and universities join together to train community-oriented physicians. The AAMC noted that they were particularly interested in UCSF Fresno's model program of training third and fourth year medical students because of the comprehensiveness of the program including the Doctor's Academy at Sunnyside High School, medical school and resident training, continuing medical education, its affiliation with a top medical school (UCSF) and the collaboration of community partners such as Community Medical Systems, Children's Hospital of Central California, Veteran's Administration Hospital and the Central California Faculty Medical Group.
UCSF Fresno operates a regional medical school campus—training more than 200 third and fourth year medical students annually. A regional medical school campus is defined by its geographic distance from the mother institution by a minimum of 25 miles. In addition, it must be directed by a dean that reports to a central dean. UCSF Fresno's mother institution is UCSF. Deborah Stewart, MD, is the associate dean of UCSF Fresno; she reports to Haile Debas, MD, and dean of the UCSF School of Medicine.
"UCSF Fresno has been nationally recognized for taking students out of the classroom and putting them into the community," said Haile Debas, MD. "Medical students are very interested in the Fresno program because they get hands-on exposure to a wide diversity of cultures, ethnicities and community specific health problems."
The ten regional medical schools selected for the national AAMC study are located in Savannah, Georgia; Fresno, California; Huntsville, Alabama; Camden, New Jersey; Jacksonville, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Binghamton, New York; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Charleston, West Virginia.
The AAMC is the national organization of all medical schools that creates the standards for medical education. It comprises all US and Canadian medical schools, teaching hospitals, academic and professional societies representing 100,000 faculty members, and all US medical students and residents.
Note to editors: For more information about the site visit, or to contact the AAMC team traveling to Fresno call Cara Peracchi Douglas at 559.243.3606.

Does anyone else use this site to do your on-line shopping?
Basically if you go "through" this site to the on-line store you want to shop from you will get a percentage of your purchases back. I have shopped with it twice now and it really seems to work. They pay you every quarter. I chose my payments to be sent to my paypal. It worked good.
I don't do a lot of on-line shopping either. It is interesting what you can get on-line. I shopped at Dollar General on-line. I stocked up on shampoo and stuff and got $3 back.
Quoting mac1940:
I too have never heard of it, although confess I don't do a lot of on line shopping. But sounds like maybe I should check it out.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
Never heard of it but might check it out.
Thanks for sharing :)
Wow, I will go check this out! I buy stuff online on occasion, too. Would be nice to get a rebate! thanks for sharing.

Survivor: One World
Exclusive: Matt Quinlan talks about 'Survivor: One World' (Part 1)
By Reality TV World staff, 03/01/2012
Matt Quinlan
was voted out
of his all-male Manono tribe at the third Tribal Council session of
: One World during Wednesday night's third episode of the CBS reality series' 24th edition.
On Thursday, Matt, a 33-year-old attorney from San Francisco, CA, talked to Reality TV World about his
: One World experience and his early elimination from the game -- including whether he felt like he was really blindsided at Tribal Council or was aware he may get voted out of his tribe beforehand, what his plan was that he fully intended to execute before it failed to work, who he thought he definitely had on his side prior to them turning on him, and what he had to say about his cold attitude towards the women's Salani tribe and being hesitant to helping them in times of need.
Below is the first half of our exclusive interview with Matt. Check back with Reality TV World on Friday for the second portion.
Reality TV World: After you were voted off,
Jeff Probst
said you were the first blindside of the season. Were you really blindsided? Because based on your Tribal Council comments, it seemed like you had a pretty good idea you could be going home.
Matt Quinlan:
Yeah, I didn't get blindsided. I felt it wasn't really a blindside -- only in the sense that I didn't necessarily know. I didn't walk into Tribal Council thinking it was the end for me. I thought it was either the end for me or I was going to have my plan work, you know?
And then it became obvious to me at Tribal that it probably wasn't going to work because of all the comments and everything, so at that point, I realized that I was probably done for. But when I went home, I was not shocked.
Reality TV World: So what was your plan that didn't work?
Matt Quinlan:
You saw a little bit of it last night. I went to [Troy "Troyzan" Robertson] in an effort to try to kind of shake up the game and to align with him and [Jonas Otsuji] and add that to the [Michael Jefferson] and [Jay Byars] group that I was with and have those five, that was my plan.
It ultimately was to try to get out [Colton Cumbie] -- to either flush his [hidden Immunity Idol] and vote out [Bill Posley] or to send Colton home with his Idol. So, that's what I wanted to do. I always viewed Colton as the biggest threat out there and I think a lot of people view him to be the biggest threat out there, and they were distracted by me when I think they should have been focused on Colton.
And so, I was trying to put together a group that appeared to me to be very loyal, that I could trust moving forward and that was willing to kind of start picking off first Colton -- because I felt like him and his Idol and his relationship with those women and his kind of willy-nilly nature out there was a risk to all of us.
And so, that was my first plan, but of course, my main plan was to get myself into a better position where I was safe and not running for my life.
Reality TV World: Last night's episode showed you saying you'd spent the first eight days "creating some power" and were now "want[ing] to use it." What power did you think you had created and how were you planning to use it? Was it going after Colton, then?
Matt Quinlan:
Yeah, it was going after Colton, you know? And what I was creating was not necessarily one project out there. I think we were all trying to create something while you're there. That's the point is to build this foundation and get momentum going the way you want it.
So initially, it started with the four guys -- Mike, Jay, Bill, and myself -- and we were working with Colton early and then when Colton got the Idol, he kind of went into limbo. And so then it was, you know, nobody was really galvanized yet.
And then it became obvious that Colton had gone to the other side and then I felt like I was very vulnerable. So I tried to switch the game up and get Troy to play with me, and we were going to vote out Colton. So that was my reality out there.
It's easy to watch it on TV and realize when people move on or they don't really have the power, but I think everybody out there -- if you would have polled them at the moment -- would tell you that they had a handle on what was going on. Because all you know is your reality and what people tell you, you know?
Reality TV World: They showed you doing an interview after you guys lost that Immunity Challenge where you were still making some comments about how you planned to "execute some of" that power and it was "going to happen." So is it safe to say that you still thought you were in control of the game at that point, and if so, when did you begin to realize that wasn't the case?
Matt Quinlan:
Of course it wasn't accurate.
Reality TV World: I meant the comments. Did you still feel...
Matt Quinlan:
Oh yeah, I mean, look, that's actually how I felt. I thought that I had convinced Troy and Jonas to play with Mike, Jay and I. We were going to vote out Colton and Bill and [Greg "Tarzan" Smith] and [Leif Manson] -- they were all coming next, you know?
And so, that's honestly what I believed. I didn't think that I was at risk, but I thought I had done enough to save myself and to set up a situation that would look good for me going forward.
So, that was my reality out there and if you look online at CBS.com, there is a hidden scene [video] of that event where I'm talking to Jonas and we're trying to flip the game up. That tells the story a little bit more clearly about what my plan was.
Reality TV World: So it wasn't until Tribal Council began when you realized things had kind of gone south for you, it sounds like?
Matt Quinlan:
Right. Yeah, exactly. When I went to Tribal, I thought, "My plan's going to work with these guys," because they had me believing that they were down for that... or I'm going home. So when I heard that Tarzan started saying things, I realized that it didn't take and that I had been had and that I was probably going home.
So, I was very frustrated of course and annoyed and agitated and what not. So, that's kind of where that attitude came from last night, because I was sitting on that stool feeling like it was the end for me. I felt helpless and I was very frustrated.
Reality TV World: You seemed to be one of the men who had the biggest issue with the men's tribe helping the women's tribe out and sharing things with them around camp. Can you talk about that a little bit?
Matt Quinlan:
Yeah, I viewed it as a game and in real life, I would've taken care of them and gone out of my way, as a matter of fact, to try to make sure that they were comfortable and taken care of and all that without any question. But in a game for a million bucks, we're playing
When I started, I put on my
game face, grabbed my normal sense of reality and mentality and set it aside and was playing. I guess you could view that as being harsh or hardcore, but it's
, you know what I mean? I'm sorry that those girls were cold and hungry and all that. We were too, so that, we understand.
But it's like, I don't believe that it made sense to bring in the people we're competing in this game against and feed them and warm them and dry them out and everything else just so they would be in a better position to beat us. It just didn't make sense to me.
If I was playing any sport or any game, I wouldn't try to give an advantage or make it easier for my opponent. So, that's how I viewed it and it was more, I think, behind -- like, not in front of the girls -- that I was like, "Look guys, we can't be doing this with them," as opposed to in their face, but I did feel pretty firmly that it just didn't make sense to help your opponent.
I think the guys came around. I think they just left us and you saw that. I know there's also a [video] scene on CBS.com of Jay kind of getting fully down for that concept and Jonas was there.
The only person that I think wasn't there was Leif. I mean, he was pretty sensitive to what they were going through, and I think that's pretty cool, but for the most part, I think the guys were like, "That's your opponent. Let's not help them."

Physical series suiting Penguins' Kunitz
PHILADELPHIA — Mr. Hit Parade has no interest in joining a long list of popular Penguins players known by their nicknames.
Nothing against "Lucky" Pierre Larouche, "The Doctor" Paul Coffey, Jean-Sebastien "Seabass" Aubin or Jordan "Gronk" Staal, but left wing Chris Kunitz simply doesn't believe his nickname, "Kuni," belongs with those.
It probably doesn't — and, as Staal suggested Monday, maybe it would make more sense to nickname Kunitz's hits.
There certainly have been enough of them through three games of the Penguins' opening-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers — a best-of-seven affair they lead, 2-1, with Game 4 tonight at Wachovia Center.
Kunitz has yet to score a goal and has just one assist, but he's become the breakout, uh, hit on a series that figured to star MVP-candidate teammates Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby.
"He's a pit bull," Crosby said of Kunitz, his linemate whom the Penguins acquired from Anaheim on Feb. 25. "Usually, he's either hitting or being hit. He plays the perfect game for the playoffs."
At 6-foot, 195 pounds, Kunitz rated sixth among forwards with 11 playoff hits before games played yesterday. He finished 12th with 207 during the regular season.
A role-playing Stanley Cup winner with Anaheim in 2007, he sent the traditionally fierce Flyers a thunderous message last week in Game 1 with his first-period crunching of defenseman Kimmo Timonen. At the time, that hit seemed as though it might prove Kunitz's signature stamp on the series.
By the first intermission of Game 3 on Sunday, it was clear Kunitz had decided to treat Timonen as his personal crash test dummy.
His first-period charge into Timonen in the last game so impressed Flyers left wing Scott Hartnell that he said yesterday, "I saw it on video, and I didn't think it was possible (Timonen) got up and finished the game."
Hartnell wasn't alone.
Staal, who caught the hit from his spot on the bench, called it "one of the best you'll ever see."
He also backed the idea of naming that hit "The Kunikaze."
Kunitz, a thoughtful, well-spoken and fun-natured recent first-time father, said his physical nature on the ice is no reflection of his personality.
"It's just the way I play hockey," he said. "I go in straight lines, want to finish checks and go to the net and puck retrieval. These types of things that coaches tell me is good for me to play my game — I just try to do that every night."
Penguins assistant general manager Chuck Fletcher's history with Kunitz dates to their days together with the Ducks. He managed the Ducks' AHL team in Cincinnati, where Kunitz played before becoming a fixture in Anaheim's lineup.
"Chris has always been a physical, competitive player, going back to college," Fletcher said. "That's what makes him so intriguing as a player.
"I think it's hard to make people aggressive. You either have it in you or you don't. He's just a naturally aggressive kid. He likes to play physical hockey. He likes to play in front of the net. And he likes to finish his checks. That's the way he's been since I've known him."
Crosby said he picked up those Kunitz traits during their first game together March 5 at Florida.
Left wing Matt Cooke, who faced Kunitz and the Ducks four times annually during his time with Vancouver, said he knew the Penguins were adding a nice kind of nasty when they acquired Kunitz for defenseman Ryan Whitney.
"He's a guy that plays with an edge," Cooke said. "You're seeing that a lot now. During the (regular season), he puts less focus on that physical play. But once you play that way, and it's a fun way to play, it never leaves you."
Kunitz has left an impression on the Flyers, whose coach, John Stevens, accused him of trying to hurt Timonen.
"You can tell that was for sure," Timonen said yesterday. "I don't really care. Hopefully, we can do the same thing to them (tonight)."
As Staal said, the Flyers will know where to find Kunitz.

Michelle Grabner Exhibition Opens 7/27 at Inova's Kenilworth Gallery
The Institute of Visual Arts (Inova) opens the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Peck School of the Arts' Year of the Arts with two prominent UWM alumni. Chicago-based artist, writer, teacher and curator Michelle Grabner (BFA '84, MA '87) presents a selection of paintings, prints, sculpture and video spanning her formidable career. Guest curated by artist and gallery director John Riepenhoff (BFA '04), this exhibition will also include a selection of work by Grabner's former students who have gained prominence over the years, as well as the work of five pivotal mentors and professors who have had an impact on Grabner's artistic practice.
Grabner is currently a Professor and Department Chair at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, visiting Professor at Yale University and with her husband Brad Killam runs The Suburban (est. 1999) in Oak Park, Illinois and the Poor Farm (est. 2008) in Waupaca County, Wisconsin.
Dates: July 27-September 23, 2012
Opening reception on Gallery Night, Friday, July 27, 5-8pm
Join us on Gallery Day, Saturday, July 28 for a conversation between the artist, guest curator John Riepenhoff and Inova's new director, Sara Krajewski, in the Inova screening room at 1:30pm.
Location: Inova/Kenilworth, 2155 N. Prospect Ave, Milwaukee, WI
Free and open to the public
This is a twenty-year survey exhibition that spans work from the early 1990s made while Grabner was living and working with her young family in Milwaukee to new work dating 2012. A range of paintings, prints, video, and sculpture will illustrate Grabner's investigations into the concepts of work, labor, and the aesthetics and social-dynamics of the domestic sphere. Repetition, pattern, and indexical systems of mark-making are her preferred language yet this accumulative exhibition will also feature examples of representational work less familiar to her public oeuvre. "Maturing as an artist in Pluralism, educated in the 1980's, and fusing conceptual practices with handcrafted objects, Grabner stands firmly in the gap between past and future" writes Molly Zuckerman-Hartung in her catalog essay. She goes on to say that, "Grabner grinds her teeth at night, and holds onto at least a semblance of conviction, while relentlessly evacuating any signs of passionate intensity. In every interview she critically refers to the "lurid" color of past work, the "optical bounce," the domestic references. Look at the history of her paintings and note the continuing effort to repress the hallucinogenic color, the wavering psychedelic opticality."

I got the media adapter today and am left a little puzzled by a few things. For one, if you choose PlugIn or choose the media adapter, you can't actually hear any of the audio unless you physically pull the 3.5mm cable on the separate iPod plug. Makes no sense. Maybe I am missing something.
This thing also runs insanely hot even with the fan. I had the old "music" snap-in adapter with no fan on the '09 X6 and it didn't even come close to how hot this thing gets in 10 minutes (with the lid open!)
Going to have to look this stuff up... unless anyone here knows. How to get to Pandora? or Mog? Is there a way not to need to unplug the 3.5mm iPod source to swap sources sinces all these sources are choices on the menu? Sigh....

One of my favorite literary magazines is American Poetry Review. It has been publishing poetry and essays since the 70s, and recently relocated to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, which should ensure its future in this difficult time for print mags. The reason I like APR might seem selfish to anyone who knows that they've published some poems of mine over time as well as some of my essays, but the reasons that I admire them are the reasons I submitted to them, not the other way around.
When I first began seriously reading and writing poetry just after 9/11 (I had recently finished an MFA in fiction), APR was one of the magazines I turned to as I began to understand the contemporary poetry landscape, and I found it was one of the very few places I could find long essays by poets on poetry and one of the few places that published a wide array of aesthetics in poets/poetry, often including numerous poems by poets. I liked the daily-ness of the format, the newspaper layout, the sense you could take poetry folded under your arm onto the bus, to the beach.
And I loved the essays, the ranginess of them, and the fact that they were unapologetically long and thoughtful. When I began writing essays myself, I found that in order to think through what I was considering, it often took 5000 or more words to do so. None of this 650 word limit at APR; the editors were and are willing to give poets the space to consider topics, linkages, and books thoroughly, to pin ball between the cultural, the political, and the personal, to wade belly deep in aesthetics, to wallow and roll in a beloved poet's entire oeuvre, to explore as well as unpack and explicate. I love the editors for their generosity and intelligence as much as for their risk taking and willingness to make space for new as well as established writers. For my money, I love APR.
—Laura McCullough
*Throughout Poetry Month 32 Poems will use this space to praise presses, journals, and readings series that bring poetry to us in a special way. Our hope is that we can point new fans in their direction and publicly thank editors and curators for their work. Check in with us again tomorrow for another poet's recommendation.
Laura McCullough's books of poetry include Rigger Death & Hoist Another (Black Lawrence Press, June 13), Panic (winner of the Kinereth Gensler Award, Alice James Books, 11), and Speech Acts (Black Lawrence Press, 10). She is the editor of two anthologies, The Room & the World: Essays on the poet Stephen Dunn, (Syracuse UP, forthcoming 13), and A Sense of Regard: Essays on Poetry and Race, (U of Georgia P, slated for fall 014). She is the editor of Mead: the Magazine of Literature and Libations and an editor at large for TranStudies Magazine.

I enabled the traffic shaper and the default magic shaper rules. I noticed
when downloading multiple files via http, that the first download gets what
seems like 95% of the priority and downloads at 350kb/sec while other
concurrent (but started later) downloads are puttering along, varying speeds
at like 10-20kb/sec and occasionally pausing.
When the first one finishes, the next one kicks off at great speeds.
Before enabling the shaper, the multiple downloads would balance out the
bandwidth a bit more.
Maybe I'm crazy? Anyone else see this kind of thing or how I might remedy

Phillips Talks Special Teams, Depth Chart After Practice No. 4
Aug. 7, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - When UK head coach Joker Phillips took over the Wildcats' program three years ago, he changed the name of UK's special teams to "special forces," due to his passion for the military. And after the team's fourth practice of fall camp on Tuesday, Phillips talked a great deal about those "special forces" and the differences from last season.
"We have a lot more athletes that can run, block and do the things we need to do up front," Phillips said about the special forces' drills thus far. "That is really all we have worked so far is our punt team. We have more skilled guys that can play it and the punt team has become a skilled-man team. It used to be that you put offensive lineman and linebackers (up front), but now it's become more skilled guys and more speed guys on there.
"This is our third year in the system in the shield punt and they understand it a little better. Some of the guys have been on it a long time in Malcolm (McDuffen), Avery (Williamson), Bud Dupree. Those guys have been on it a long time and we feel better about that. We need to continue to develop some backup guys because those guys are starters. We would like to have a whole new unit go in there and start learning those positions. But we are not against putting starters on there. Danny Trevathan and Winston Guy played every snap on special teams last year."
Specifically, Phillips said the team has worked on some kickoff and punt return and overall he has been pleased with what he has seen. One name the head coach mentioned was sophomore Demarco Robinson, who Phillips said is more confident catching the ball this season compared to last.
On the opposite side of returning, Phillips talked highly about punters Landon Foster and Joe Mansour. In particular, Phillips said Foster, a true freshman out of Franklin, Tenn., is getting the punts off "as fast as we have ever had" at Kentucky, while Mansour has some collegiate game experience in handling kickoffs much of the last two seasons.
Phillips also touched on the wide receivers after practice Tuesday, saying he has seen some positive signs from the wide receiving corps in the first few practices. The head coach again echoed the same theme as Monday, noting he wants to see how they play in full scrimmages with full pads as compared to the first few practices of camp.
"We have gotten better at that (catching the ball)," Phillips said. "A couple of the young guys are starting to show that they can do it consistently. Now, it is only a couple of practices and we are not going full speed or in a scrimmage situation. Again, I want to hold judgment until I see that in a scrimmage. I have seen it out on the field before but when we get in those game-like situations I don't see it. I want to see it done in the stadium."
Along those lines, Phillips said the depth chart will not see too many changes in the first week or so.
"It is not fair to the guys that are lining up (on the field) after four practices, and none of them in full pads, to set a depth chart," Phillips said. "We have to have one to set up who is going out there first, second, third and fourth, but it is so hard to set a depth chart and say, `This is how we are going to line up against Louisville.' It's just too early."
Overall, Phillips was pleased with practice as the Wildcats continued to increase their tempo under picture-perfect weather conditions. The team will look to rest tonight in anticipation of the first full-pads practice of fall camp on Wednesday and a two-a-day practice schedule for Thursday.

Quality of health services
Health care service reform started late and the quality of many services is still far from what is desired. More emphasis needs to be placed on community-based, better quality and more accessible services, especially for vulnerable groups. Because people in rural areas and poor communities having less access to health care, it has been observed, for instance, that the infant mortality rate in such areas is higher than in other parts of the country. The infant mortality rate among Roma children was found to be twice that of Romanian children.
The low level of breastfeeding negatively impacts on the health of babies and children. The concept of exclusive breastfeeding is widely unknown, and infants are given other liquids as early as the second month. The average duration of breastfeeding in Romania has consistently remained at around 5 months, while WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, to be continued up to age 2 and over. Consequently, anemia rates have soared, with the highest levels found in children under 12 months in Transylvania, which has the lowest level of poverty and the earliest weaning practices.
The maternal health situation is equally of serious concern. Romania still has an unacceptably high rate of maternal mortality, higher than in other Eastern and Central European countries. Of the some 75 maternal deaths recorded every year, half are abortion-related, and half are obstetric-related. Women sometimes use abortion as a means of controlling the number of children in the family. Another piece of data pointing to the need for improvement in the system indicates that only 60% of pregnant women consulted a doctor in their first trimester. It is estimated that half of the women who die during delivery did not benefit from any pre-natal care.
Another challenge is the fact that doctors and nurses avoid working in rural areas. This led to a Ministry decision in 2004 to offer a EUR 2,500 start-up bonus to any doctor who decides to take a job in a rural area.
Plans exist for the rehabilitation of 600 village primary care units, with funds from the World Bank; another 2,000 units will receive equipment, according to an announcement by the Health Ministry. Romania has a total of 6,000 primary health clinics and 17,000 general practitioners. The system requires more than just rehabilitated clinics; it needs good human resources, well trained and motivated doctors and nurses.
At the recommendation of UNICEF and other players, the Ministry of Health set out in 2002 to form a national network of community nurses to tackle the problem of people whose health is not monitored because they have not registered with a doctor. The nurses work in the community in which they live, and because they know the people there, their interaction is easier. As soon as health problems are identified, the community nurses act as a link between the members of the community and the medical and social services. Their main task is to provide preventive health care services for children, mothers and pregnant women, as well as any other vulnerable people. They do a lot of field work, are therefore very knowledgeable about health needs in the community, and can be effective advocates with the local administration. The network does not presently extend to all Romanian communities, but because results have been very good in the past two years, it has started to grow. UNICEF is actively involved in this project in over 120 communities in six counties.
UNICEF launched a campaign in 2001 to promote breastfeeding, and directly supported the re-establishment of the National Breastfeeding Committee. All studies show that breastfeeding is very important for the health of both the child and the mother. Various studies also indicate that early initiation and longer duration of breastfeeding contributes to better bonding between mother and child, thus lowering the risk of abandonment and increasing the chances for the child's proper emotional and intellectual development. In spite of benefits of breastfeeding being huge for the future development of the child, the rate in Romania continues to drop.
• UNICEF initiated and supported the awareness-raising campaign on the benefits of breastfeeding, through posters, brochures and billboards to promote breastfeeding, and a mother's handbook which is distributed in maternity wards to all new mothers. TV and radio spots carried important components of the campaign and the message to mothers in rural and urban areas.
• UNICEF helped develop the National Strategy Paper for Breastfeeding Promotion 2003-2012 and the National Plan of Action for 2003-2005, which was officially launched by the Ministry of Health.
• 10 maternity hospitals have become baby-friendly hospitals, with support from UNICEF; another 9 have initiated this process.
• Training on breastfeeding has been offered to hundreds of health professionals (neonatologists, family doctors, nurses) in 20 counties.
• Over 250 community nurses were trained and 24 community nurse trainers were certified with UNICEF's support.
• UNICEF supported the Institute for Mother and Child Care to finalize a study identifying the main causes of infant and under-five deaths at home. The results will be used to identify the links between infant deaths and the quality of perinatal services, and between under-five deaths and the quality of community health services.

The consumer spending in Kuwait is set for another strong year in 2012 backed by solid salary increases and an improving employment scenario [2], according to a report by the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK).The consumer spending growth moderated thus far in 2012 following an unprecedented year in 2011. Last year had benefited from a large Amiri cash grant early in the year and a series of pay hikes for nationals, the NBK said in its report.This year has already seen another series of salary increases for Kuwaitis [3]and it is expected to remain strong albeit not quite matching last year's growth as indicated by the first half figures, it stated.A number of pay hikes were approved for public sector employees this year along with hikes in benefits paid to Kuwaitis working in the private sector.The salary benefits amounted to an estimated KD760 million ($2.7 billion) annually, of which KD700 million went to the nationals. The increases are of a similar magnitude to last year's and are expected to provide a solid boost to spending and consumer [4] borrowing again this year, the NBK report pointed out.As a result of last year's pay hikes, growth in total wages of Kuwaiti civilian employees is estimated to have accelerated to 8 per cent by the first quarter of 2012, its most rapid pace since the 2009 slowdown, it stated.This rise in aggregate wage income, which captures growth in both salaries and employment, is expected to be sustained in 2012 thanks largely to the government's wage increases, said the Kuwaiti lender in its report.According to NBK, this trend is also apparent in the sustained growth in household borrowing. "Solid income growth and some improvement in hiring continue to support healthy growth in consumer credit," the country's top lender said in the report."Employment growth among Kuwaitis appears to be slightly stronger than a year ago while there are signs that expatriate hiring in the private sector is recovering further from the post-financial crisis slowdown," it added.Point-of-sale transactions (debit and credit cards) during the second quarter saw a year-on-year increase of 15.6 per cent. This followed an easing in the first quarter. The acceleration in second quarter coincided with the retrospective payment of pay hikes in the government sector in June.The second quarter is also expected to have benefited from vacationers travelling earlier than usual ahead of Ramadan, said the NBK report. Household credit will continue to benefit from this strength though growth rates will likely stabilize around the current pace, it added.According to NBK, the pickup in household credit seen in 2011 has held up through the first half of 2012. The growth in personal loans at banks accelerated to 13 per cent year-on-year compared to 5.1 per cent a year ago."We expect growth to stabilize at around this rate through 2012. In fact, annualized growth during the first half of 2012 was 13.3 per cent," said the Kuwait lender. On the job scenario, NBK said Kuwaiti civilian employment appeared the strongest it's been in over a year (y/y). "As of June, the net yearly gain in the number of civilian jobs to nationals in was 12,500, compared to 10,500 the prior year. Employment grew 4.6 per cent y/y. The Kuwait workforce in civilian jobs totaled 285,000 at the end of June, according to data published by the Public Institute for Social Security (PIFSS).The top Kuwaiti bank said employment growth among Kuwaiti civilians continued to be driven primarily by the public sector, which accounted for over 80 per cent of net new jobs."This trend has been sustained since the second half of 2010. Growth in the government's Kuwaiti civilian workforce stood at 4.1 per cent in the first quarter," it added.
