I have been taking diazepam for over 5 years for seizures/panic attacks/muscle spasms. I was due to have surgery that would have enabled me to be pain free & move on with my life, but due to this false positive test, it was cancelled. My primary care doctor has me on several meds & is now telling me I am being cut off, period. Coming off of diazepam can cause fatal seizures. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone taking diazepam falsely tested positive for PCP?

Hi MDgirl,
The only drug that I have read about that can cause a false positive is Lamictal. Not to say that there might be others. I am assuming your doctor that did the pee test is aware of all of the drugs you are on. Explain to them ever so calmly that you have never taken PCP. Coming off diazepam needs to be done slowly, like cut back by half every 5 - 7 days, because it can cause seizures if done cold turkey as you mentioned.
Hopefully you can talk to your doctor again and let him know what you are concerned about. Visiting with the folks on this site will help you alleviate the anxiety you are feeling about this situation and hopefully help resolve your dilemma.
Keep in touch,
Thank you! I do not take Lamictal. I currently take..Diazepam, MS Contin, Methadone, Percocet & Pravachol. Only what they prescribe me & exactly as it is prescribed. I am so upset that a surgery that I have waited so long for could be cancelled without some questions being asked. Every day feels like a month & I have talked with my doctor. I want to get off of every medication that I don't need, but to get rid of the pain, the surgery is the only solution. I appreciate your advice :)
I might also add that the doctor who prescribes all of these medications has told me that I will not get refills on any of my meds all due to the false positive test. I feel as if I am being wrongly treated & that removing me from all of those medications at once could cause devastating side effects.

Laurie is right, you need to be as calm as you ca possibly be and explain to him that he hasn't found you to be dishonest before and that you have taken the medicines he has ordered to start with ask him to evaluate your history and I would let him know I had not done this and that my stress level was high due to the thoughts of going off Diazepam cold turkey, I have had seizures and at one time was on Diazepam, you and I both know you don't just discontinue this drug, try to keep it together I am now on Xanax extended release, I once was on the 1mg tablet 4x a day, the doctor thought that it coming out of my system so quick it made me need more faster, since being on the longer acting I can take it 4 x daily but am able to get by with one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.

No, but I would imagine wages would be based solely on the job required and your level of skill.

Hi. My DH is about 6'2 and 200 lbs with a broad kind of football player type build. He uses the Moby at home all the time for our 11 week old chunky monkey (14 lbs). Anyway, the Moby feels hot and does not feel so portable these days. My Ergo is too narrow for him in the shoulders, and he feels like her head bobs around in our babyhawk (not so for me b/c she snuggles up to my breasts). Any suggestions? He loves the Moby, but I think he needs something a little less labor intensive for errands & trips to the park with our 3.5 year old.

post #2 of 25/25/11 at 7:15pmFirst of all kudos for having a babywearing hubby! If he is really into the wrapping thing I would suggest a german style woven wrap like a Storchenweigen or Didymos. But other than that I have no clue as to what a good carrier for a SAHD would be... Perhaps there is an attachment parenting type store in your area where he could try out a few carriers. Do you know of thebabywearer? It has lots of WAHM stores on it and even if someone just has a webstore they might let you visit to try some carriers. Good luck and props to you mama!

Muslims begin hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia
Some of the pilgrims' prayers had to do with current events.
Carrying a large Sudanese flag, Mohamed Ali said he was praying for an end to the civil war in Syria and victory for rebels over President Bashar Assad.
"Victory is close, God willing," Mr. Ali said.
"May God bring Muslims together and help us unify, and help our Christian brothers, even those who made the film against the Prophet Muhammad," he said, referring to a movie that sparked violent protests last month around the Islamic world.
Others had more personal prayers.
An Egyptian mother of three, Nadia Abdel Aziz, appealed emotionally to God to make her children behave more kindly toward her. The 65-year-old widow said she was able to perform the hajj with the help of donations from a mosque in Cairo.
"O God! I want my kids to come and see me and be sensitive toward me, as I see with other families," she cried.
With her arms outstretched, she begged God for salvation, wiping a stream of tears from her face.
Saudi officials say about 3.4 million Muslims from all corners of the world are making the pilgrimage this year.
A sea of millions dressed in white, some waving their national flags, stretched for miles in the area of Mount Arafat, many chanting in unison, their prayers echoing.
Mount Arafat, about 12 miles east of Mecca, is a required stop for Muslims during the hajj.
As the sun and temperatures rose Thursday, tens of thousands of pilgrims began climbing the Mountain of Mercy.
By sunset, pilgrims head to Muzdalifa, where Muslims believe prophets before Muhammad once prayed. They collect pebbles there and then walk or drive to nearby Mina for a symbolic stoning of the devil that begins Friday and marks the start of Eid al-Adha, or feast of the sacrifice, when Muslims slaughter lambs to feed the hungry.
Hajj rules — based on centuries of interpretation of the Sunna, the traditions of Muhammad — are extremely elaborate. Pilgrims must all gather at certain sites at specific times. Some rites are repeated, others are partially repeated, and some performed only once.
Many pilgrims being their journey in the Saudi Arabian city of Medina with a visit to Muhammad's mosque, where he is buried. They then head to Mecca and perform a set of pre-hajj rituals, including circling the Kaaba counterclockwise with their hearts tilted toward it — the same rituals that conclude the hajj for many.

New York DA: Okay, Fine, I used to Act in Porn
After initial denials, Upstate New York Prosecutor admits he performed in the porn business back in the early 1970s
From NBC4 New York A district attorney in upstate New York has admitted that he acted in pornographic movies in the 1970s then lied when questioned about it during his second campaign.
Mark Suben, the DA in Cortland County near Syracuse since 2008, held a news conference Friday to say he had lied about his past in the days before this years election. Recently materials have been circulated alleging that I was involved in the adult film industry about 40 years ago in New York. Those allegations are true, he said. I was an actor in adult films for a short period in the early 70s. I was also an actor in other venues including off Broadway, soap operas and commercial advertisements. Actually, not just any porn actor, but one with a pretty gloried pedigree. He seems to have appeared in Deep Throat Part II in addition to Bedroom Bedlam and something called Devils Due. The films all seem to be from the first half of the 1970s. The plot of Devils Due is described thus by IMDb: A young girl fleeing an abusive home life arrives in New York City and becomes involved in a satanic cult. She conspires with the cult leaders two lesbian assistants to take over the coven. Interesting. more: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2012/11/some_stories_are_awesome.php?ref=fpblg

If BMX racing was as small as you think it is then it would not have been added to the Olympics in 2008. The only reason a majority of the kids do freestyle here in Corpus is because that is all they are offered. If the bike shops had a BMX race track in the area then they would be selling those type of bikes too but the reason you don't see them now is because there is no need. I support this track and my kids are excited to get out there and take on a new challenge.
FK it then...bring it. I was just thinking of accomodating what the kids seem to like to do now...freestyle. You see them all over town. Hopefully if this does come to pass, the city will take care of it. I am sure schwinn and the pedal will carry racing stuff once again.

As the fourth season of The Vampire Diaries draws to a close, Julie Plec is much in demand for interviews to discuss the last two episodes and the future of the show in general. With The Originals on the horizon too there's even more to talk about. These interviews cover a lot of different topics and include some hints about upcoming episodes; beware of spoilers!
In this interview with ETonline, Julie talks about Nina Dobrev's pivotal role in making season four a success.
ETonline: Arguably the success of this year depended on having an actor who could bring the excellent writing to life. And honestly, if The CW was ever going to break into the Emmy race, Nina Dobrev is the one to do it.
Plec: Right? It was definitely scary because we knew the entire season hinged on Nina's ability to dig into some deep places she hadn't had to dig before. Had she not spent the last three years successfully playing 960 characters, we would have been a little more worried [laughs]. For me, there was a moment in the season premiere where the director called me to say the entire crew burst into applause after he shot it.
TV Fanatic has a lot of questions for Julie and there are definitely some spoilers in this one. Click at your own risk!
TVF: Whether the Veil is going to drop or not, is that what Silas really wants or is there more that has yet to be revealed?
JP: There is definitely more to the Silas story than has been told. His motives…he's pretty honest. It's just some details that he's left out.
This interview from Zap2it focuses on the status of the sire bond and what we can expect to learn before the season ends.
"Definitely before the season's over, we have our answer to the question of does the sire bond still exist, and if not, then what are her feelings and who are they for," executive producer Julie Plec reveals.

TV Guide's TVD Bite catches up with Candice Accola to talk about tomorrow night's new episode, The Walking Dead (EP422), Caroline's future with Tyler and Klaus, and the show's transition from high school to college.
"We're going to learn more behind the mythology of lifting the veil and why specific characters … have returned and why some have not," Candice Accola tells us in this week's Vampire Diaries Bite. "So it's not that every character that's ever been killed off the show is just going to magically appear in one wide shot, but there will be a lot of familiar faces and a story behind each one."

Entertainment Weekly caught up with Candice Accola to chat about tonight's episode of The Vampire Diaries, She's Come Undone (EP421), Caroline's relationships with Elena, Stefan, and Tyler, The Originals' big Klaus twist, and graduation.
On Caroline and Elena's friendship: Candice says that if/when Elena decides to turn her humanity back on, Caroline will have to try and reconnect with her. "Sometimes when someone has gone through a traumatic occurrence in their lives they're just not the same person," says Accola. "I assume that if Elena did turn her humanity back on, she'd still have to get her sea legs back. She'd still have to discover who she is and I think that would be hard for Caroline."

We've all seen the Graduation (EP423 – Season Finale) stills, so how about some intel? Julie Plec talked to Entertainment Weekly about the season finale as well as the penultimate episode, The Walking Dead (EP422). On the graduation event itself:
"It's difficult to throw an event in Mystic Falls without it going catastrophically awry, but one of the things that was really important to us is that we do give this event itself its due . . . We made sure that in spite of everything that's going on in the midst of it, we still get those great friendship moments and nostalgia moments that I, as a fan of TV over the decades, loved so much on high school shows as you reached that milestone."
She also talks about the dropping of the veil, someone taking the cure, Elena's and Caroline's feelings about their potential relationships, and more.

Head over to TV Guide to get ready for this week's new episode with the Vampire Diaries Bite. In this installment, Candice Accola talks about Caroline and Klaus:
"Obviously Klaus [Joseph Morgan] has his hands full in New Orleans … but there are going to be some great moments in the final three episodes that will leave the fans satisfied, but still wanting more from the two of them," Accola tells us in the video below. "Klaroline fans … will be intrigued by this week's episode — they're going to have some moments."
She also talks about Caroline's changing perspective, attitude toward Elena, and more.

Digital Spy has not one, but two interviews with Joseph Morgan. The first is a Q&A about The Originals, in which Joseph talks about the backdoor pilot that aired last week and his view of the general differences between the two shows.
Now The Originals has been picked up to become a series on its own, what will that be about?
"I think the overriding theme of our storylines within The Vampire Diaries has always been about family. We can do terrible things to our family members but woe betide the person from outside who comes in and tries to mess with us! And so I think that's going to be a theme of the series – family. And then also the sort of power struggle. Vampire Diaries is kind of a coming of age story, and I think The Originals is definitely more sort of epic. It's even in the backdoor pilot that you'll see – it's almost like a war is brewing. It's on a grander scale – it's less about prom and more about a war between the vampires and the witches. So it's good!"
The second interview concerns the last few episodes of season four of The Vampire Diaries (beware of spoilers) and a certain much-pursued cure.
"When I read the finale the main thing I wanted to know is, 'Who's going to get the cure?'" he said. "That's what I was the most excited about – who on Earth is going to get the cure?

Saying 'no' can hurt your career yet it may be necessary to save your career. A perfect example to illustrate this point is Charlie Hunnam's decision to not take in the much anticipated role of billionaire Grey in the show "50 Shades of Grey". "Universal Pictures said his departure was a mutual decision due to a scheduling problem with Hunnam's TV commitment," according to BBC News.
When you are asked to take on extra responsibility take the time to consider competency versus incompetency how much time it will take and when you say no, then what?
Competency vs Incompetency
If your boss is asking you to take on extra responsibility, ask yourself if it will help you or hurt you. If you have been waiting for a chance to show what you can do then taking on new responsibility will only help you. If, however, taking more on means over-extending yourself, you may not want to take a chance on looking incompetent.
How much time will it take?
Extra work is great for the pocket book but that time needs to be taken from somewhere. If the place you're taking it from is something you can live with then taking on the project may be a good idea. Conversely, there is some 'time' that does not have a dollar value.
When you say no
Going back to our example, when Hunnam decided to back out, he offered to help find someone else. If you are someone who has a difficult time saying no, offering to help is a good way of saying no with actually saying no.
In the workplace when asked to take on extra responsibility it is ok to say no, especially if it interferes with your competency. You need to consider how much extra time the new responsibility will take and how it will affect your priorities. When you need to back out of added work, like Charlie Hunnam, be sure to offer your help to find someone who has the time.

Veteran Plea For Help – Bob Strait And Family.
Ranger Up CEO and Veteran, Nick Palmisciano shares the story of 90-year-old WWII vet Bob Strait and his 85-year-old wife Nancy Strait who were brutally attacked in their Tulsa home March 14th, 2012. Bob was brutally beaten and shot with a BB gun, Nancy was sexually assaulted, brutally beaten and died of her injuries. Today, 19-year-old Tyrone Woodfork is in custody and charged with first-degree murder, burglary, assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of armed robbery, but police are still looking for four/five additional suspects who committed the crime. Bob Strait was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division and jumped in on D-Day during World War II, he was awarded the bronze star. Bob was also awarded the purple heart for his injuries but turned the award down along with any government aid. Nick is asking Americans along with John Stewart and Stephen Colbert to push this story out and so it airs mainstream media. A Trust for Bob and Nancy Strait has been set up with a goal of $20,000 the current donation amount is at $3,000.

Lucetta posted on Austrian Things Blog - A blog with beautiful, fantastic and wonderful things which you don't need but absolutely have to have.
The Crumpled Sky map with two bestseller of Palomar collection: ZoomArt and Odnom!
Some design objects belonging to the Palomar Collection - Galileo's Telescope, Crumpled City™ Maps, PinCity Wall Maps - have been selected for the Exhibition "PIONNIER", during the last Maison&Objet Edition.
The aim of the Exhibition was to document today's atmosphere and to invite to draw inspiration from the living world in order to enter a new age in which life goes on. From the presentation of François Bernard:
"PIONNIER is a state of mind as much as it is an art of living. A mix of practical spirit and poetic beliefs in search of scientific legitimacy, the style is developing in harmony with nature and time.It does not contrast nature with the city, old with new, innovation with old hat. The cycle of permanent renewal seems to have been overtaken by an aesthetic of reconsideration and creative reappropriation (…)The pioneers of "modern life" are developing a holistic philosophy, spending more time in order to "do better", and prefer semi-mechanical, the semi- manual to the fully automatized."
Yes, we agree and this is the philosophy which inspires Palomar design collection.

We've just come back from the amazing Maison&Objet fair in Paris 2013.
Enjoy some pictures of the event!
ZoomArt had been selected as the perfect tool to follow the live launch of the NASA space mission to Jupiter, which took place on 5th August 2011 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral.
Aimed at unvealing scientific discoveries on the biggest planet in the solar system, the mission featuring The Italian Space Agency (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) has been named Juno (www.missionjuno.com).
From 5th to 9th November 2102 the Science working group of the mission Juno has been held in Italy. Also in this occasion the ZoomArt has been selected by the American scientists as perfect gift to give to the Italian partners of this important mission.
Palomar's crew has just come back from Bread&Butter Fair, Berlin 4-6 July 2012.

Palomar Sciorùm is open to the international visitors within the Florence Design Week (22-27 May 2012).
For this event, the Crumpled City™ Map of Florence has a special price! Don't miss the best maps of the world!
Palomar neo-Renaissance loggia at company headquarters is full of yellow roses and Wistaria sinensis.
The Japanese Business news web Magazine "Media Makoto" featured the Crumpled City maps (12 April 2012). The writer was very intrigued with the concept, design as well as packaging of the Crumpled City.This is the interview he made to Cristina (head of Palomar Communication Office)
1. How did you get an idea of the crumpled map?
For Centuries maps have been irreplaceable learning tools. They have to do with travelling, discovery, adventure.
The Crumpled City™ Map – designed by Emanuele Pizzolorusso - reinterprets an object which historically has been synonymous with exacting precision and manual skills.
Actually, maps must be opened, folded to find what we are interested in and then folded away, preferably along the original folds of the paper.
But, how often are such operations difficult and frustrating? Especially when we are lost and have to pull out of our pockets or our bag a map that often, through use and the difficulty of folding it, has turned into a mass of wet, swollen paper, which forces us to engage in an impossible exercise in the art of "origami" to consult it and finally get our bearings!
These are the reflections around which the Crumpled City™ maps have been designed: maps that are soft, extremely light but very strong, perfect waterproof, designed to be quickly put away in their bag, without having to be folded but just scrunched up, rocked up into a ball. Crumpled City indeed.
At the core of the design is this "playing" with gesture: this allowing people to do something that is usually "forbidden", that is to simply scrunch up a document. It is a liberating, fun act, especially if you do it with something that you are not going to throw away, but which is actually made to be kept and reused.
2. How did you develop the map product? By your in-house staff? or with designers outside?
The designer of the Crumpled City™ maps – Emanuele Pizzolorusso - is an Italian freelance designer who has been living in Finland.
The project of the Crumpled City™ maps has been a project shared from the beginning by both Palomar (in-house staff) and Emanuele Pizzolorusso.
The product is the result of their mutual collaboration since its start in the year 2010.
3. Who are the customers of this map?
The customers have in common the pleasure to buy these maps as a gift, a memory associated with a place, to keep and collect.
They are contemporary travelers who are not only oriented towards "smart phone based application maps"; they appreciate the digital maps but they like also these maps because they are "designed" and have a completely new look, they are easy to use, more fun and inspire more freedom than traditional maps.
The costumers are curious people, who love amazing ideas…
Color and graphics are part of the design project. The designer chooses to simplify the street mapping without decreasing the map's functionality.
It is possible to write on the map and to create your own personal map.
4. How are the sales so far?
The sales are very good. We sale the Crumpled City™ maps very well all over the world. The current collection includes 31 cities and it is growing up…
The Crumpled City™ are award-winning maps: I send you in attachment the list of design awards received by the maps so far.
5. Why did the lens company make the map? Could you explain about your company?
Palomar is not an optic company: it is a design company which has some optical objects in its collection. The whole collection finds its consistency in a desire to observe and comprehend the world. All the design objects produced by Palomar result from this desire.
The desire to observe and comprehend the world has to be intended in a wider sense: it involves, for example, the concept of Space and Time. It is a desire peculiar of the human beings…
In our design collection this never-ending desire, stimulates the research of original ideas; these ideas sometimes became objects. We produce design objects which are analogue (and not digital) BUT which are also involved in the contemporary way of life as well as interesting for people of to-day.
The Crumpled City™ maps are a perfect model of our research: they are contemporary but also "traditional".
Furthermore, all the objects part of our design collection lay stress on the direct experience instead of the indirect one…
It was during the Salone del Mobile in April 2011, that Emanuele and Fabio involved Alessandro (1) in a project to create a new line of Crumpled City™ maps, illustrated and designed for a younger audience. The concept was different to that of the original Crumpled City™ maps: the cities would be seen as through the eyes of a child, portraying the city as a game.
The first part of the design process involved researching both style and colour: some of the great children's publication designers who inspired us during the creative process included Bruno Munari, Alessandro Mendini and Enzo Mari. Our research focused on what to design and how to go about designing these new maps, looking for an effective way to create a product which would successfully portray the world from a child's perspective.
And so we started from scratch. We didn't want to create something too educational: ultimately we weren't as interested in showing the exact reality of a city, but more in how, with some imagination, it could be seen.
We believe that the best way to interest a younger audience isn't to create a faithful replica of reality, but rather an observation of reality, or as Italo Cinti put it, how reality could be used. In other words, we wanted to focus on the experience of a city, rather than representing it accurately.
So buildings, monument, museums, parks, rivers and lakes are represented in bright colours; the streets weave through the map, creating imaginary routes; the city is animated with fantastic characters; Paris, London and Berlin have become canvases for an imaginary, fanciful city. The design, deliberately linear, has allowed for the page to be packed with thousands of details, offering a huge amount of illustrated information.
Each map also contains a selection of sights dedicated exclusively to children, from bicycle shops to game parks, and science museums to cake shops, depicted in an extra large format reminiscent of a Polaroid. These are both manageable and engaging for young explorers.
Crumpled City™ Junior maps are highly imaginary and come to life every time they are crumpled. They are designed to stimulate the interest and engage the curiosity of all who use them, children and adults alike!

This is a good book and a much needed one. For years most patients with diseases of the esophagus have been receiving poor treatment largely because there are so few men in the world who have enough material of this one type to become expert in diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately also, for some curious reason, some of the men who have written the few available books and articles on the esophagus seem to have been unaware of the fact that in 1898 Russell, of England, devised a simple apparatus by means of which strictures in the esophagus and spasmodic contractures at the cardia can be dilated with a high degree of safety. A recently published book on the esophagus still advocated the retrograde attack on cardiospasm through a fistula in the stomach. As Vinson says (p. 14), gastrostomy is associated with a surprisingly high mortality; it rarely provides grateful palliation

450g/1lb boneless chicken breasts, skinned
450g/1lb cucumber
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp groundnut oil
1½ tbsp garlic, finely chopped 1 tbsp spring onions, finely choped
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 tsp chilli bean sauce or chilli powder
2 tsp sesame oil
Cut the chicken into 2.5cm/1in cubes and set aside.
Peel the cucumber, halve it and remove the seeds with a teaspoon. Then cut it into 2.5cm/1in cubes, sprinkle with salt and put the cucumber into a colander to drain for 20 minutes. (This removes the excess moisture from the cucumber).
Next rinse the cucumber cubes in running cold water and blot them dry with kitchen paper.
Heat a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
Add the oil and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the chicken cubes and stir-fry them for a few seconds.
Add all the other ingredients except the cucumber and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Now add the cucumber cubes and keep stir-frying the entire mixture for another 3 minutes. Serve at once.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Jobs, such as a software developer, that involve computing at an advanced level require very specific knowledge that is virtually only attainable by gaining a degree in computer science. It is this knowledge that employers seek, not a general understanding but a precise comprehension that employer's can exploit and utilise.
Knowledge is one thing, for example, the knowledge of various programming languages, but employers of software developers also look for the mathematical and analytical mind that a computer science graduate would have.
With such a specific skill set it is common for software developers to mostly work in fields that you would intuitively expect them to. IT, web design and computing departments of companies are all filled with software developers. However, they are also required in more unusual fields such as the programming of mechanised robots on factory lines and even computer controlled pyrotechnics at events, concerts and on film and telvision production.
However, rather than simply hopping into a general computing orientated role many graduates actively try and pursue a certain niche of the discipline to work in professionally. For example graphics rendering is one area that is useful in engineering as it is in video game design whilst web design is utlisied by nearlly every company that exists in the country. But then do you want to work for a third party web design company or in-house, or maybe you don't mind? These are decisions that graduates who are prospective software developers have to make.
Most software development careers are very team based and involve a lot of unity as a workforce, more so than other departments. This means that at the beginning of your career you will be delegated various computing tasks for completion and it is simply a matter of completing them one-by-one. As you demonstrate your competence and reliability you can work your way up the team's hierarchy via promotions. Ultimately you would potentially be overseeing the entire department so it would be advisable to hone and deomonstrate from an early point some kind of team leadership skills.
It is true that the degrees that lead to the career of a software developer, for example computer science, is a popular degree however it is also one of the few that has a lot of demand. Whilst it can't be said that this demand is equal to the supply (what is these days?) it is close because as previously mentioned, computing is such an integral part of modern business that every company requires robust IT related departments.
What you may find more of a difficulty is finding a place within the computing world that you are completely happy with. There are areas of the industry that are more attactivethan others. It will come as no surprise that everyone wants to be part of the team making the next hot first person shooter and so these positions at video game production houses are subject to fierce competition.
Starting salaries can vary quite significantly different from company to company for computing roles and it also depends on what kind of role it is (i.e. what department). However, an average starting salary for a computer science is usually just above the national average for an intitial graduate job at approximately £22,000-£24,000 p/a.
