The BBC is sure
that almost half of people watching its catch-up content will be doing so on
connected devices in the next few years, and has therefore launched a revamped
version of its iPlayer, designed for TVs, set-top boxes and Blu-ray players.
The new iPlayer
will be available from today on the PlayStation 3 and is currently being
adapted by manufacturers for a range of other devices.
According to the
latest Communications Market Report from Ofcom, only 10 per cent of
TVs can go online, however in the last six months the BBC has seen a five fold growth of iPlayer on TV.
"At this rate of growth, in the next few years
we could well see over half of iPlayer use directly on the living room TV,"
said Daniel Danker, the BBC's general manager of programmes and on demand.
While iPlayer is
available on over 300 devices already, the presentation is inconsistent and on
some devices, very frustrating to navigate. The new iPlayer will offer a more
consistent platform making it a lot easier for users to navigate using their
remote controls.
The new interface
will also offer better personalisation so that iPlayer will remember your
searches and preferences to allow your access the programmes you want, quicker.
"It feel like TV,
it's much easier to use and it's more personal. This is designed from the
ground up for televisions," said Gideon Summerfield, the BBC's executive
product manager for iPlayer on TV.
While a huge
variety of set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and TVs will be getting the newly
redesigned iPlayer, one major player won't be getting it any time soon. "Sky
today remains a closed platform," Danker said. This is in contrast to
competitors Virgin Media and BT who both offer iPlayer as part of their

subset: commoncrawl

CHAPEL HILL � Belmont scored five points in the last 14 seconds to shock No. 12 North Carolina 83-80 on Sunday in men�s basketball at the Smith Center.
CHAPEL HILL � Belmont scored five points in the last 14 seconds to shock No. 12 North Carolina 83-80 on Sunday in men�s basketball at the Smith Center.
J.J. Mann�s third 3-point basket in about a 50-second stretch put the Bruins ahead and, after North Carolina�s J.P. Tokoto missed a jumper, Belmont tacked on another basket off a breakaway.
�I let my team down (by not calling timeout after the Bruins went ahead),� North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. �We didn�t execute at that point.�
The Tar Heels (2-1) couldn�t hold an eight-point lead across the last 2� minutes.
�I guess we panicked a little bit and didn�t react the way we should,� guard Marcus Paige said.
Belmont (3-1), which has made the second-most 3-point baskets in Division I the past 17 years, had the right combinations in the final couple of minutes.
�They aren�t great victories unless you beat great programs,� Belmont coach Rick Byrd said. �It�s a big moment right now for us.�
Mann, a 6-foot-6 senior forward, racked up a career-best 28 points, hitting five of Belmont�s 15 successful long-range shots.
�He made plays,� Williams said. �We didn�t get out there and guard him like I would have hoped. You�ve got to get up and make that shot more difficult.�
Mann entered the game 1-for-16 on 3-pointers this season.
�Sandbagging,� he said.
But his coach was fine with his 5-for-14 long-range effort.
�He�s so darn cocky,� Byrd said. �He was never going to stop thinking they were going to go in.�
North Carolina rallied in the second half behind relentless offensive rebounding, but 26 missed free throws and a costly turnover in the final minute were too much to overcome.
�We definitely knew what we were getting into coming into the game,� said junior forward James Michael McAdoo, who scored a career-high 27 points for the Tar Heels. �A great shooting team that wasn�t going to make mistakes.�
The game was part of the Hall of Fame Tipoff tournament, though the teams were headed to different predetermined brackets later this week in New England anyway.
North Carolina trailed 55-44 with less than 14� minutes to play before surging ahead. Paige�s 3-pointer with 8:23 left gave the Tar Heels a 62-60 edge as the team was on its way to 14 consecutive points. Belmont was amid a field-goal drought of nearly seven minutes.
Brice Johnson�s dunk with about 4:42 left pushed the edge to 71-65 and those were the Tar Heels� only fast-break points of the game.
Mann�s 3-pointer with 1:01 remaining drew the Bruins within 78-75. After two Paige free throws, Mann connected on another 3 with 52.9 seconds left.
A North Carolina turnover on Paige�s fumble with 20 seconds left gave the Bruins a chance and Mann converted with another 3 at the 13.1-second mark.
Belmont led 41-34 at halftime, aided by North Carolina�s 9-for-28 free-throw shooting. McAdoo�s 12 points at the time helped keep the Tar Heels within range.
�It was a big part of it,� Williams said of missed foul shots. Tokoto was 4-for-16 from the line.
The Bruins were content with perimeter shooting. They didn�t attempt a shot inside the 3-point arc until more than 6� minutes into the game.
Paige ended up with 17 points and Johnson had 14. North Carolina grabbed 21 offensive rebounds, while Belmont had 29 total rebounds.
North Carolina remains without potential starters P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald awaiting an NCAA ruling. That didn�t matter to the Tar Heels.
�I didn�t expect to lose,� Paige said. �We didn�t have any intentions of losing this game.�


text: 16 Jul 2014 14:00 Etihad Airways' launch of daily Abu Dhabi–Rome flights is 'the next step in a burgeoning relationship with Italy', said the airline's President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan, at a press conference in Rome today. The new service adds to Etihad Airways' daily flights to Milan and complements Alitalia's five-times-weekly service between Rome and Abu Dhabi. The two airlines offer codeshare connections to another 31 destinations, giving increased choice to their customers. "With our Rome and Milan services, and our existing codeshare relationship with Alitalia, Italy continues to grow as one of our most important strategic markets," said Mr Hogan. "We expect the relationship to develop further, with a process under way which we hope will conclude with Etihad Airways taking a minority shareholding in Alitalia." Mr Hogan said Etihad Airways' minority equity investment strategy was delivering many benefits to markets around the world. "Airlines are scale businesses," he said. "They need scale in networks to be able to offer customers a competitive choice to as many destinations as possible. And they need scale in operation to deliver efficiencies and synergies which contribute to profits. "Our minority investments in network partners, coupled with our wider codeshare strategy, are enabling Etihad Airways and its partners to achieve these economies of scale. "Alone, neither Etihad Airways nor our network partners can hope to effectively compete against the might of the European legacy carriers and their alliances. Alone, neither of us would succeed in increasingly competitive markets. "But together, we can win by sharing efficiencies and applying best practice, and we can deliver a highly efficient business performance to create and deliver sustainable profitability. "In each case, we work within the regulatory framework. We have no control, nor do we desire it. Our investment is about commitment, about the 'skin in the game' which encourages all of us to seek the best possible business performance and customer service." The new Abu Dhabi-Rome route will be operated by a two-cabin Airbus A330-200 aircraft, seating 262 guests, with 22 Business Class flatbed seats, and 240 Economy Class seats. Business Class provides a specially trained Food and Beverage Manager, while families across both cabins enjoy the assistance of the airline's Flying Nanny. Earlier this month Alitalia and Etihad Airways were named as Official Global Airline Carriers for Expo 2015, the upcoming Universal Exposition which will be held in Milan from 1 May to 31 October 2015. お問い合わせ エティハド航空は国際的な航空会社として、徐々に世界にネットワークを広げています。 お近くのエティハド航空への連絡方法は、こちらをご覧ください。お問い合わせ先を見る ご意見・ご要望 ご意見・ご感想、激励、苦情、ご質問などがございましたら、こちらをクリックして、入力フォームからご送信ください。 いいね! フェイスブックで弊社のページをご覧ください! ご覧ください エティハドの YouTube チャンネルを見る Twitter(ツイッター) エティハド航空 | エティハドの特典 | エティハドヘルプ | エティハドのリワード

Lecturer IAS
Shauna Carlisle, will use a community based learning approach to develop, a course called Foundations of Social Services. This class will provide an introduction to social welfare, social services, and social policy. This course will build knowledge of poverty and inequality and explore social policy as a form of insurance and protection against hardship. Students will have an opportunity to work with a community organization to develop a policy proposal. The rational behind this course suggests its not enough to simply learn about social policy, but we need to engage. Students will learn how social policy is formulated, the assumptions behind social policy, and how social policy can change the human condition and empower those who have limited access. A community based learning approach provides an opportunity for students to work with a community organization to identify and draft a policy solution that agencies can use to advocate for the needs of their constituents.

Project: Community, Prisons, and Health
Cheryl Cooke, an assistant professor in the nursing program, is using her ICBLS project to develop, present, and refine a course called "Community, Prisons, and Health". In this course, the effects of mass incarceration on individuals, families, and particularly, communities are examined. Some topics that explored in the course include how removing large numbers of individuals from families effect community capacity, health, economics, politics, and the potential for social action focused on community improvement. Various texts, media, and fieldwork experiences are used to explore historical and contemporary issues related to incarcerating large groups of people. The course was originally developed as a freestanding course, but is being revised as a two-part series of courses that also allow students to participate in a community-based project.

Dr. Lindsay Custer teaches sociology and global studies courses at Cascadia Community College. Her ICBLS project involves integrating community-based learning into a course called "Social Inequality." By integrating community-based learning into this course, Lindsay hopes to "provide students with richer learning experiences, to expose them to various forms of oppression that they may not have encountered before, and to strategically incorporate service learning at a place in the curriculum where students are likely to encounter it at some point during their time at Cascadia Community College. For this project community partners will be selected based on whether or not they address the types of inequality being explored in the course (race/ethnicity, class, sex and gender, and sexuality). Potential community partners include: Hopelink, Habitat for Humanity, Eastside Domestic Violence Center, and Equal Rights Washington among others.

Project: Cultural Research, Community-Based Learning and Collaborative Practices
Dr. Gardner will incorporate a community based learning component as part of his IAS course Approaches to Cultural Research. "I believe students will greatly benefit by working closely with community partners to carry out meaningful cultural research projects." The optional 2-credit class will offer interested students enrolled in his course the opportunity to work with a community organization to design, carry out and present their research. "Integrating a community-based learning component will enable students, as well as myself to build relationships with community partners that can extend beyond the single quarter." By incorporating a community-based learning component students who want to work with local organizations will have the chance to engage real problems in the community, and experience the challenges and rewards of carrying out collaborative research. In addition, he is developing partnerships for learning and research examining the relationship between culture, politics and social change for the MACS and MAPS graduate programs.

Project name: Community interview project using digital-story-telling-technique
Li Liu will use community-based learning technique to develop and further refine details of a course she's been teaching for five quarters at Cascadia Community College, CMST 150, Multicultural Communication. In this course students will interview a community member coming from a different culture and record the conversation with digital cameras. Students will then edit the footage they've collected and towards the end of the quarter, share the digital film with community members and the entire class. The community-based learning approach enables Li to develop course assessment tools better reflecting and protecting benefits of community members, while scaffolding students learning experience through the interview process. Another obvious benefit of using community-based learning approach is that students are now able to compare and contrast textbook intercultural communication theories with real-life inter-cultural communication moments.

Project: Improving the Design, Dissemination, Continuity, and Assessment of Community-Based Research by UW Bothell Students in BES 318 and BIS 490
Dr. Turner has been engaging students in community-based research projects for as long as he has been teaching. This reflects his commitment to provide experiential learning opportunities for students that also provide some benefit to the community. In 2010 Dr. Turner will be incorporating community-based research projects in BES 318 – Hydrogeology, BIS 490 – Senior Seminar: Sustainability Research for Community Enhancement, BIS 392 – Water and Sustainability, and BES 303 – Environmental Monitoring Practicum. His ICBLR proposal is to take the community-based projects in these courses to the next level. Specifically, he will collaborate with the ICBLR Steering Committee and fellows to ensure that: 1) student project results are well packaged and well disseminated; 2) plans for continuing research projects and collaborations beyond 2010 are developed; and 3) student learning objectives are defined and their fulfillment assessed, along with community partner satisfaction.

Exotic pets on display at animal shelter
New education room opens to the public
Staff and volunteers have blown the dust off of a rarely used back corner in the Valdez Animal Shelter and created an education room for less common pets, such as a boa constrictor, bearded dragons and ferrets.
"It's to educate the community," Mike Lindquist, the animal control officer for Valdez said. "If they want to get these kinds of animals they can come here and see what it takes."
An experienced animal control officer, Lindquist said the point of the room is to help people make educated decisions before they buy that cute little iguana at the pet store in Anchorage.
"This is what the teeny iguana turns into," he said, referring to the large female iguana housed in the room, which inhabits a custom-made cage designed to house her until she reaches her full-grown size, which can exceed six feet in length.
While Lindquist seems to have a special affinity for the iguana, he says he enjoys all the pets in the room.
"I like the beardies too," he said, referring to the pair of Bearded Dragons on display. "I like them all."
The room also features a small boa constrictor and a playful pair of ferrets. The resident Koi, a large type of goldfish that would normally live in a pond, has also moved into the education room.
The boa, koi and iguana are perfect examples of pets people should learn about before they decide to keep them. These animals are often sold as babies in pet stores, sometimes at only a few inches long. Unfortunately, consumers are not always warned of the size their new pets can grow to - sometimes very quickly. Educational materials for the pets on display are also available or coming soon.
The room is also a nice place to hang out if you like animals, Lindquist said, noting Valdez is full of cats, dogs and spectacular wildlife, but no formal zoos or pet stores exist.
"If they (the public) just want to hang out with the animals, they can," Lindquist said.
The education room has been a work in progress for several months, with paintings of the display animal's natural habitats on the walls. The outdoor scenes were painted by Krystal Banks and Laura Robertson. A volunteer built the iguana display.
"It's taken a few months," he said, "All the painting, the cage building."
And acquiring the animals, which are all rescues from other organizations outside Valdez, except for the koi. The koi was surrendered as a pet to the shelter years ago according to former ACO, Shana Anderson.
The room is open daily, except Mondays, during regular shelter operating hours.

After a year or more of depressed prices, gold and silver stocks reversed with a vengeance. GDX (the ETF proxy for the Gold Miners Index) was up in just two months (August and September). Those who followed our lead and bought or averaged down this summer have profited handsomely. It's been a fun ride, and I'm convinced we'll see many more surges like this before it's all over.
What was perhaps more important about the surge in gold stocks, though, was the leverage they demonstrated, which is one of the primary reasons we invest in them. Here's a comparison of GDX to GLD from August 1 to November 1.
This chart shows the advantage of building your position on dips. It lowers your cost basis and takes leverage to a higher gear.
So, what now?
First, stocks ran far and fast, no doubt, and nothing goes up in a straight line, even in a bull market. That's why the October lull wasn't concerning to us.
Second, we also should consider seasonality. Here's the updated monthly performance of gold stocks since the bull market started in 2001, along with their year-to-date performance.
You'll see that October is typically the weakest month of the year for gold stocks. It wasn't surprising that the dip wasn't big this year, since stocks had been weak most of the year.
It's the big picture, of course, that we're most interested in. With the Fed, ECB, and BOJ pulling stimulus rabbits out of the printing hat, and the UK, Switzerland, and China all adding to their balance sheets, gold is headed a lot higher and will subsequently pull the stocks with it.
Further, the seasonal pattern in stocks does not apply to gold.
On balance, October is a strong month for our favorite metal, though that wasn't the case this year. This is a good reminder that shopping season could strike at any time.
For now
- Maintain full exposure. Enjoy the ride, but don't be surprised to see a pullback, or at least some consolidation. As the chart above shows, this is a strong time of year for gold, so we want to be fully invested. In the big picture, we've got a long way to go.
- Have your shopping list ready for whenever the next correction strikes. There's no crystal ball perched on our desk, but we know further pullbacks will arrive at some point, so be prepared to pounce.
- Consider taking a free ride if you're sitting on a large gain. Calculate the number of shares to sell to take your initial investment off the table. Then your remaining shares are a "free ride," meaning risk-free. If you go this route, do not sell your entire position; you could lose out on further gains.
Navigating the bumpy waters of precious-metals investing is especially challenging right now. With the right guidance, your investments can be positioned to help keep economic trends from robbing your savings and investments. Learn more here.

"I hate doing this... I'm in a lot of trouble. Due to various reasons … my restaurant is in a downward spiral."
That's the beginning of a Facebook post by Craig Boncler. But it's the middle of the story that really matters.
Boncler owns Sicily Pizza and Pasta off 290 in northwest Harris County. Business has been slow lately, thanks in part to the economy and the never-ending construction on 290.
"We are smack right in the middle of the 290 construction," Boncler said.
He said he's watched one business after another go under in the surrounding strip center and he doesn't want to be next.
Boncler has managed to keep paying employees, but hasn't been able to cash his own paycheck for more than two months. He's behind on his mortgage and car loan and could lose his house soon.
But the single dad is even more worried about his three sons' health.
"My youngest son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two weeks ago. All three of my boys are now dealing with this currently incurable disease," Boncler wrote.
Michael, 16, Christopher, 12, and 10-year-old Timothy all need insulin daily but Boncler is about to run out. That's what prompted him to swallow his pride and ask for help on Facebook.
Copays for the insulin alone cost over $200 a month. That's a lot of money when there's no cash coming in.
Boncler said Christopher also has pituitary dwarfism. Artificial growth hormones were helping him grow but Boncler can no longer afford them.
Boncler isn't asking for handouts. He's just asking people to support his business so that he can pay his bills.
"If you live anywhere within driving distance, please consider having a meal at my restaurant. And tell your friends. Tell everybody. Have more than one meal," his Facebook post read. "We have a huge menu to choose from, and it's all good food, at a reasonable price."
The post had more than 300 shares by Wednesday afternoon and Boncler hopes it will help drum up some business.
If you'd like to check it out, Sicily Pizza and Pasta is located at 13147 Northwest Freeway.
UPDATE: Because of the overwhelming response, a friend has set up a Youcaring.com page for Boncler and his boys.
There's also a gofundme.com page but they take nearly 8% of the donations.

Commencement setup a four-day project
Thursday, May 9, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Thousands of students and their families will enter John Lance Arena for commencement this weekend and see a setup befitting of such a special occasion.
Kevin Malle will enter the arena and see a job well done.
Malle, Pittsburg State University's custodial services supervisor, and approximately 40 of his crew have spent the past four days turning a gymnasium into the scene of a once-a-year celebration. From the large backdrop behind the stage to the 500 chairs on the floor, every detail is given the proper attention and respect.
"Graduation is such a big day for the students and their families," Malle said, "and we want to make sure it's as perfect as it can be. We're in here for four days cleaning, lining up the chairs and doing everything we can to make this a perfect setting for the students."
And when he says "lining up the chairs," he's not talking about an eyeball estimate.
"We take that very seriously," he said. "We're out there with rulers and boards and even laser levels to make sure they are perfectly straight. We want people to walk in here and think 'wow, this looks good.' We take great pride in that."
Once it's all over?
"We tear it all down in about two-and-a-half hours," he said.
Pittsburg State University will observe its 110th spring commencement on Friday and Saturday, May 10-11. According to the PSU registrar, 1,134 students are eligible to participate in the four ceremonies. Of those, 864 are undergraduate students and 270 are graduate students.
Commencement exercises for students in the College of Business as well as students in the College of Arts and Sciences from the departments of Art; Communication; History, Philosophy and Social Sciences; and General Studies, will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 10.
The second ceremony, for students from the remaining departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, will begin at 8 p.m.
On Saturday, May 11, commencement exercises for students in the College of Technology will begin at 9 a.m.
The final ceremony, for students in the College of Education, will begin at 11 a.m.
All of the ceremonies will be held in the Weede Physical Education Building, 1701 S. Homer.
A live video broadcast in Adobe Flash format is available for persons unable to attend commencement who wish to watch the ceremonies on their computers. For instructions, visit the PSU website, www.pittstate.edu, and click on the commencement link.
Other commencement-related activities this week include the Nurse Pinning Ceremony, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, in Memorial Auditorium, and the Department of Military Science Commissioning Ceremony at 10 a.m. at the PSU Veterans Memorial.

Warming temperatures may have led to dying trees in the western US, researchers say. Writing in the journal Science, ecologists report that tree mortality rates in the old forests of the western United States have more than doubled since 1955. Although no certain cause for the change in tree mortality has been identified, warming temperatures are a prime suspect. Temperatures have been increasing over the region -- and, the researchers say, those climate changes may have led to stress from drought or pests.
"Average temperature in the West rose by more than 1° F over the last few decades," said Phillip van Mantgem, one of the authors of the rpeort. "While this may not sound like much, it has been enough to reduce winter snowpack, cause earlier snowmelt, and lengthen the summer drought." Shifting tree mortality rates can lead to changes in the composition of the forest, making the forest more vulnerable. We'll find out more.

ugggghhh, I haven't logged in here so long...I'm sorry, I feel like a jerk. I think I probably talk to a lot of you folks over at FB? If you're there, find me! But I will be better about stopping in here, I promise.
So, Jeff Williams' Freelance Orchestra is playing a concert during RTX! We are playing on Saturday July 2 at ACL Live at Moody Theater. This venue is positively beautiful and every single seat in there is a great seat. The furthest seat from the stage is 75 feet away! It holds 2,700 people, and there is general admission on the Floor (rock out!), and seats in the Mezzanine and Balcony. Tickets range from $25-35. http://acl-live.com
Of course my long-time musical partners Casey Lee Williams and Lamar Hall will be there (as well as Alex Abraham, composer for RWBY). The rest of the band is absolutely KILLER. Everyone playing is a virtuoso....I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to bring all these people together BUT I DID!! :)
Opening the show and performing with us is Videri String Quartet-if you can remember all the way back to RTX 2012, they played with us then. VSQ specializes in game and anime music....and they have a release of RWBY covers coming out and available at RTX at their booth.
Also during RTX, Casey and I will have our panel on Friday at 5:00 and our signing Sunday 1:30.
Huge thanks to Rooster Teeth and RTX2016 for helping us make this concert happen! We REALLY REALLY look forward to seeing everyone there. This show is going to kick ass.

Jazz Pioneer 'Jelly Roll' Morton's Music Finally Free For Re-use In Europe -- A Hundred Years Too Late
from the what's-the-point? dept
A recent Techdirt post reminded us that thanks to its crazy copyright laws, the US won't be seeing anything new in the public domain for many years. But even in those "fortunate" countries that get to use cultural works a mere 70 years after the creator's death, the situation is still pretty absurd.
For example, The 1709 Blog notes that one notable pianist and composer entering the public domain in Europe is "Jelly Roll" Morton:
Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe ('Jelly Roll Morton') was famous both for his musical talents and for his rather overconfident nature. His self-promotion as the 'inventor of jazz' has been disparaged by many a musician and critic, yet his considerable accomplishments speak for themselves.
Now, whether or not you accept his claims to be the "inventor" of jazz, there's no denying he was a real pioneer in this new art-form. So it's ridiculous that only now, nearly a century after he made those key contributions, are other musicians allowed legally to take his works and build on them in any way they like.
Fortunately, no one paid much attention to copyright in the early years of jazz, where tunes and chord sequences were routinely shared among musicians for others to explore and extend and then pass on in the same way. Indeed, we wouldn't have the amazing riches of the last hundred years of jazz had they not done so. The recent liberation of 'Jelly Roll' Morton's music from copyright, so long after it was used in precisely the ways that the public domain is supposed to encourage, emphasises the huge gulf between what the law says and what art needs.

ENG 107-2 History & Drama: (Science & Scientists)
First, a brief review of how the general reader can become a critical reader of dramatic literature—and still find the experience delightful and enriching. Then, using Pirandello's Each in His Own Way as a reminder of the challenge of plays about contemporary issues and personalities, we will discuss some works from the last sixty years that have addressed concerns of science and scientists. It may be just as interesting to discover that some dramatists have little insight about this kind of subject as it is to realize that humanists and scientists can speak the same language. Texts will include Brecht's Galileo, Kipphardt's In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer, as well as more recent efforts to present Heisenberg, Bohr, Kepler, and Feynman. This course is offered second half, fall semester.

Scientists successfully clone human stem cells via skin cells
Scientists have successfully changed skin cells into embryonic stem cells, marking the first time human stem cells were cloned by transferring the nucleus of another cell.
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) were able to create embryonic stem cells, which are valuable for research because they can be turned into any other cell type found in the body. Stem cells provide a way for scientists to look into replacing cells damaged through injury or illness or give them a way to treat different conditions through stem cell therapy.} }
"A thorough examination of the stem cells derived through this technique demonstrated their ability to convert just like normal embryonic stem cells, into several different cell types, including nerve cells, liver cells and heart cells. Furthermore, because these reprogrammed cells can be generated with nuclear genetic material from a patient, there is no concern of transplant rejection," Shoukhrat Mitalipov, a senior scientist at ONPRC, said in a press release. "While there is much work to be done in developing safe and effective stem cell treatments, we believe this is a significant step forward in developing the cells that could be used in regenerative medicine."
The research was published online in Cell on May 15.
The researchers employed a method called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), where the nucleus of a skin cell -- the part of a cell that contains DNA -- is implanted into an egg cell that has had all of its genetic material scraped out. What's left is an unfertilized egg cell (with a skin cell nucleus), which then produces stem cells that can develop into many different types of cells found in the body.
Researchers were able to accomplish this because they found a way for the egg cell to stay in the "metaphase," a stage in the eukaryotic cell cycle where the chromosomes that carry genetic information are in the middle of the cell. This preparation step occurs right before the cell is split into two cells. By keeping the cells in metaphase, the researchers were able to scrape out the existing DNA and implant the skin cell's DNA much easier.
- Windpipe made from stem cells implanted in 2-year-old girl
- Study: New process converts skin cells into brain cells
- Challenges abound as researchers search for rare disease treatments
Dr. George Daley, a Harvard stem cell scientist who wasn't involved in the study, lauded the advance in science but pointed out to NPR that is likely to raise debate about the topic of cloning again.
However, because this method doesn't use fertilized egg cells, it is able to provide a middle ground for scientists without angering people who are opposed to using cells that can theoretically develop into fetuses.
Also, while this method can create cloned stem cells, known as therapeutic cloning, it probably will not be able to create full human clones, which is known as reproductive cloning. The researchers pointed out that we are far from that day, especially since related monkey studies have not produced a viable monkey clone. Also, human cells are very fragile, and may not be able to withstand the reproductive cloning process.
"Our research is directed toward generating stem cells for use in future treatments to combat disease," Mitalipov pointed out. "While nuclear transfer breakthroughs often lead to a public discussion about the ethics of human cloning, this is not our focus, nor do we believe our findings might be used by others to advance the possibility of human reproductive cloning."
Robin Lovell-Badge, head of developmental genetics at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research, said to The Guardian that research like this legitimizes the work of therapeutic cloning as a scientific tool instead of something to be feared.
"It is an unsafe procedure in animals and it will similarly be an unsafe procedure in humans. For this reason alone it should not be attempted," said Lovell-Badge. "We are not just a product of our DNA, which is the only thing that is copied in cloning. Nurture and environment are at least as important in determining who we are, therefore cloning cannot be used to bring back a loved one."
Dieter Egli, an investigator at the New York Stem Cell Foundation, told TIME that he was impressed with the results. Egli was not involved in this study, but he was involved in cloning studies with human cells in 2011. He was able to produce human stem cells then, but they had twice the number of chromosomes.
"I think this is a really important advance," he said. "I have a very high confidence that versions of this technique will work very well; it's something that the field has been waiting for."

Two decades before George Zimmerman spotted a young man in a hoodie walking through a Florida subdivision, another case involving the shooting of an African American teenager roiled Southern California and exposed racial divisions.
Latasha Harlins was 15 when she entered the Empire Liquor Market on South Figueroa in Compton in 1991. She had two dollar bills in her hand to pay for a bottle of orange juice that cost $1.79, but when store owner Soon Ja Du saw her put that juice into a backpack, Du assumed Harlins was shoplifting.
The fisticuffs and the shooting that followed are now at the center of an excellent and methodically researched new history by UCLA scholar Brenda Stevenson, "The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins: Justice, Gender, and the Origins of the L.A. Riots."
Latasha Harlins: An Aug. 4 review of the book "The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins" said that then-15-year-old Harlins attended Westminster High School; she attended Westchester High. Also, the book and review incorrectly said that the Empire Liquor Market is in Compton; it's in Los Angeles. —
Early in her book, Stevenson offers this concise and compelling description of the young woman who entered Du's liquor store that fateful Saturday: Harlins was "a girl at heart, with the body of a young woman and an edgy attitude, she was a complex blend of naivete and maturity, strength and vulnerability … anger and heartbreak all wrapped up in a facade of quiet street savvy."
The Zimmerman trial, of course, featured a similarly complex and ultimately unknowable dead teenager. Watching the coverage of that trial, one longed for storytelling with the kind of perspective and compassion that Stevenson displays in pulling apart the events that ended with Du, a Korean immigrant, shooting Harlins in the back of the head.
There are no villains in "The Contested Murder." There is just history of the complicated and messy variety that Americans seem to specialize in creating, involving painful issues of race and social class.
Eight months after shooting Harlins, Du went to trial. She claimed self-defense, but a jury found her guilty of manslaughter. Du faced a possible 16-year prison term, but rookie judge Joyce Karlin sentenced her to probation and a suspended prison term. As several media outlets pointed out, Du's jail time for shooting Harlins was less than the 30 days that another Korean immigrant received for shooting his dog.
African American L.A. was outraged and took to protests, chanting "No justice, no peace." Five months later, when the LAPD officers who were videotaped beating Rodney King were acquitted, Los Angeles erupted in rioting — with many arsonists chanting "No justice, no peace!"
For Stevenson, these events become the vehicle for a work of deep historical introspection as she untangles the story of the generations of forbears whose striving helped shaped the three female protagonists in the case of the People vs. Du — Harlins, Du and Karlin.
Stevenson's book takes on topics as diverse as slavery in the American South, the stultifying patriarchy of South Korea and the exodus of Jews from the Russian Empire (Karlin's great-grandparents emigrated from Kiev to the U.S.).
"Contested Murder" is an academic book. It's thoroughly footnoted and also begins with the author making theoretical statements typical of such works, with Stevenson asking in her preface what role "race/ethnicity and culture, class, age or gender" or any combinations of these "variables" had on the case of the People vs. Du.
Quickly, however, Stevenson gets to the gritty work of the historian. Her portrait of the Harlinses' family roots in Alabama and East St. Louis and the family's eventual journey to Los Angeles is filled with tragic and poignant turns. Time and again, young women in the Harlins family are abandoned by the fathers of their children. We see East St. Louis burn — its black neighborhoods set on fire by whites in 1917.
In L.A., Latasha is 9 when her mother, Crystal, is shot in a bar. In an eerie foreshadowing of the trial, Crystal's killer — the new girlfriend of Latasha's father — is given a light sentence. Raised by her grandmother, Latasha is at once lonely, bright and angry. She's an honor student in junior high but starts missing school when she transfers to the more middle-class Westminster High.
When Harlins enters the Empire grocery, it doesn't take much to set her off. She will never know it, but she's crossing paths with a woman who's also angry and whose family has also made an epic journey.
Like the Harlins family, the Dus story is also told by Stevenson in "Contested Murder," relying entirely on historical documents and contemporary media coverage. Her book feels as evenhanded as such a work could possibly be.
Du was a member of a rural middle-class family in Korea. Her father was her town's only doctor, and she grew up relatively privileged. But her ambitious husband brought her to California, where Du and her husband worked in garment factories and other hard jobs to save the capital to become entrepreneurs.
After opening one store in Valencia, Du's husband opens a second one in Compton, working insanely long hours and commuting 50 miles between stores. Du's adult son has repeated run-ins with Compton gang members — so his mother decides she'll fill in for him one Saturday morning.
Unlike the encounter between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, the altercation between Harlins and Du was caught on videotape by the store security camera. Du grabbed Harlins' backpack; Harlins punched Du several times; Du shot Harlins as the teen turned to walk away. The jury found Du guilty of manslaughter. Judge Karlin then decided that justice would not be served by sending Du to prison.
Karlin grew up in a privileged Los Angeles family. But Stevenson describes the rise of that family from its immigrant roots — her father, Myron Karlin, became the head of Warner Bros. — against the backdrop of the history of anti-Semitism in the U.S. in the 20th century.
By placing the story of the women in the largest possible frame, Stevenson arrives at a series of powerful insights about the American experience. At different points in U.S. history and in vastly different ways, blacks, Asians and Jews have all been cast as the "other" and as insidious influences on American life, she writes. And at different times blacks, Jews and Asians have joined forces and found commonalities in their experiences.
In the end, Karlin clearly identified more with shopkeeper Du than with the deceased Harlins. In setting Du free, however, Karlin helped trigger what writer Mike Davis described as a kind of pogrom against the group many came to call the "new Jews" of L.A. — Koreans and Korean Americans, who owned most of the businesses in riot-ravaged South L.A.
To her great credit, Stevenson isn't afraid to stare all of this painful history in the face and give it the unflinching account it deserves. Koreans remember the L.A. "pogrom" by the name "Sai-I-Gu," or Four-Twenty-Nine (the date the riots began). "Contested Murder" makes it clear the tragedy inside the Empire Market and the violence that followed in South L.A. and Koreatown should be remembered by all Angelenos as a turning point in their history.

The Nintendo DSi was released to retail yesterday in what has to be one of the calmest launches Nintendo has ever seen. How many pieces of DSi hardware will be sold in April? It's going to be hard to tell, as the NPD Group won't be separating the DSi from the DS Lite or standard DS when releasing its monthly sales report.
Ars reached out to David Riley of the NPD Group, who said that while that information will be made available to clients, the data won't be given to the press. This makes sense; while the monthly sales numbers have made the NPD Group a household name when it comes to gaming, they're still running a business, and that data is extremely valuable to any number of groups tracking hardware sales.
So next month when we get our numbers we'll be able to do some guesstimations at how many DSi units have sold based on whether or not the DS platform sees a large jump, and we can hope that Nintendo will make some information available if the news is good, but don't expect any solid sales data on the DSi any time soon

From a 1992 interview with the American writer
|Cormac McCarthy
" You know about Mojave rattlesnakes?" Cormac McCarthy asks. The question has come up over lunch in Mesilla, N.M., because the hermitic author, who may be the best unknown novelist in America, wants to steer conversation away from himself, and he seems to think that a story about a recent trip he took near the Texas-Mexico border will offer some camouflage. A writer who renders the brutal actions of men in excruciating detail, seldom applying the anesthetic of psychology, McCarthy would much rather orate than confide. And he is the sort of silver-tongued raconteur who relishes peculiar sidetracks; he leans over his plate and fairly croons the particulars in his soft Tennessee accent.
"Mojave rattlesnakes have a neurotoxic poison, almost like a cobra's," he explains, giving a natural-history lesson on the animal's two color phases and its map of distribution in the West. He had come upon the creature while traveling along an empty road in his 1978 Ford pickup near Big Bend National Park. McCarthy doesn't write about places he hasn't visited, and he has made dozens of similar scouting forays to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and across the Rio Grande into Chihuahua, Sonora and Coahuila. The vast blankness of the Southwest desert served as a metaphor for the nihilistic violence in his last novel, "Blood Meridian," published in 1985. And this unpopulated, scuffed-up terrain again dominates the background in "All the Pretty Horses," which will appear next month from Knopf.
Text: "It's very interesting to see an animal out in the wild that can kill you graveyard dead," he says with a smile. "The only thing I had seen that answered that description was a grizzly bear in Alaska. And that's an odd feeling, because there's no fence, and you know that after he gets tired of chasing marmots he's going to move in some other direction, which could be yours."
Keeping a respectful distance from the rattlesnake, poking it with a stick, he coaxed it into the grass and drove off. Two park rangers he met later that day seemed reluctant to discuss lethal vipers among the backpackers. But another, clearly McCarthy's kind of man, put the matter in perspective. "We don't know how dangerous they are," he said. "We've never had anyone bitten. We just assume you wouldn't survive."
Finished off with one of his twinkly-eyed laughs, this mealtime anecdote has a more jocular tone than McCarthy's venomous fiction, but the same elements are there. The tense encounter in a forbidding landscape, the dark humor in the face of facts, the good chance of a painful quietus. Each of his five previous novels has been marked by intense natural observation, a kind of morbid realism. His characters are often outcasts -- destitute or criminals, or both. Homeless or squatting in hovels without electricity, they scrape by in the backwoods of East Tennessee or on horseback in the dry, vacant spaces of the desert. Death, which announces itself often, reaches down from the open sky, abruptly, with a slashed throat or a bullet in the face. The abyss opens up at any misstep.
McCarthy appreciates wildness -- in animals, landscapes and people -- and although he is a well-born, well-spoken, well-read man of 58 years, he has spent most of his adult life outside the ring of the campfire. It would be hard to think of a major American writer who has participated less in literary life. He has never taught or written journalism, given readings, blurbed a book, granted an interview. None of his novels have sold more than 5,000 copies in hardcover. For most of his career, he did not even have an agent.
But among a small fraternity of writers and academics, McCarthy has a standing second to none, far out of proportion to his name recognition or sales. A cult figure with a reputation as a writer's writer, especially in the South and in England, McCarthy has sometimes been compared with Joyce and Faulkner. Saul Bellow, who sat on the committee that in 1981 awarded him a MacArthur Fellowship, the so-called genius grant, exclaims over his "absolutely overpowering use of language, his life-giving and death-dealing sentences." Says the historian and novelist Shelby Foote: "McCarthy is the one writer younger than myself who has excited me. I told the MacArthur people that he would be honoring them as much as they were honoring him." [Read More]

What Works in Girls Education in Ghana
A critical review of the Ghanaian and international literature
Prepared by Camfed Ghana
For the Ministry of Education and the Girls Education Unit,
Ghana Education Service
With support from DFID, Ghana
Language: English
Download: English
The reviews audience is the Government of Ghana - especially the Girls Education Unit(GEU) and its development partners, including the Department for International Development (DFID), which funded this study. At a time when there is a renewed focus on value-for-money (VfM), results and impact, the report aims to inform evidence-based policy making for all education stakeholders in Ghana. By providing a lens on beyond access issues, the review directly feeds into wider Millennium Development Goals and Education For All (EFA) targets, and the Government of Ghanas most recent Education Strategic Plan (ESP), with its focus on learning outcomes, quality and equity in education.

Ryan advocates, including some of his colleagues and high-profile conservative elites, believe Romney will lose if he doesn't make a more assertive case for his candidacy and that selecting the 42-year-old wonky golden boy would sound a clarion call to the electorate about the sort of reforms the presumptive GOP nominee wants to bring to Washington.Wonky golden boy would sound a clarion call... Hmmm. Okay, here's the other side of the split:
Their opposites, pragmatic-minded Republican strategists and elected officials, believe that to select Ryan is to hand President Barack Obama's campaign a twin-edged blade, letting the incumbent slash Romney on the Wisconsin congressman's Medicare proposal and carve in the challenger a scarlet "C" for the unpopular Congress.A clarion is a "shrill-sounding trumpet with a narrow tube, formerly much used as a signal in war." So Ryan is either a shrill war trumpet or a double-edged sword, but if he's a sword, the sword is handed to Obama who then slashes plans to... uh... slash spending and he carves letters into Ryan's body. The hell?! Whatever happened to civility? And not just civility, but attention to metaphor and parallelism in writing? Ryan is a trumpet or the act of handing a sword to Obama. How do we know Obama wouldn't grab the trumpet, and maybe Romney could use the sword?
I think Ryan would be a great VP choice who would clearly help Romney. (I saw the 2 of them campaigning together here in Wisconsin.) But I'm thinking that if Romney becomes President, Ryan will be more of a help in the House than as VP. Here's my post from April 1st. It was titled: "Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan." I said:
[T]he team of Romney and Ryan was excellent. They answered questions from people as equal partners — some deference to Romney, but basically equals. Ryan is a terrific speaker, and he got more applause than Romney a couple times. Hearing them answer the same question, one after the other, I kept thinking Ryan is the stronger of the 2. And that's not to say Romney was unappealing, just less intense.
Surely, Romney will pick Ryan as his VP. Right?
I had the feeling there were 2 future Presidents in the room.

It was officially announced last week that WBC Middleweight Champion Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez (50-2-2, 28KO's), who will be presented with his new belt this week at the WBC Convention in Cancun, will defend his title next against England's undefeated interim WBA Middleweight Champion Martin Murray (25-0-1, 11KO's) in Martinez' home country of Argentina. In a historic move, the event was announced by the President of Argentina, Cristina Kirchner, and will be held on April 27. The bout will be broadcast on HBO's "World Championship Boxing".
"I'm privileged and honored to take part in Argentinian history in the announcement of my homecoming fight in my homeland with President Cristina de Kirchner and I want to thank my fans for supporting me throughout my career and I promise to give them a show they will be proud of on April 27," said Martinez.
"On April 27, the great Sergio Martinez will defend his title against a worthy challenger in front of fifty thousand adoring Argentinians. This will be a historic night for middleweight boxing and I am thrilled to be Sergio's promoter and to be part of an event of this magnitude," said promoter Lou DiBella.
"I am very honored to be a part of such a historic event," said Martinez' longtime advisor Sampson Lewkowicz. "This will be a very special night for me as this has been a dream and request of Sergio's to be able to defend his championship in front of all of his adoring fans in Argentina, the country that loves him so much for a long time."
Never in the history of the sport has the President of a country made the official announcement of a fight as is the case with Martinez' upcoming bout. In addition to announcing the world championship bout, President Kirchner also revealed that the fight will be shown live on public TV Channel 7 in Argentina, allowing 40 million Argentinians to see their champion defend his title on free television.
The bout will be Martinez' first in Argentina since February 2002, and his first since winning a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., which was shown live on HBO PPV on September 15. Martinez is, in fact, undefeated in Argentina, winning 24 of 25 bouts, with one draw later avenged, since turning pro in 1997. He will look to continue that streak against Murray on April 27.
The 30-year-old Murray, a native of the United Kingdom, is coming off a sixth-round TKO over previously undefeated Jorge Navarro on November 24. The lone blemish on Murray's record is a split decision draw to longtime reigning WBA Middleweight Champion Felix Sturm.

Now onto a new favorite of ours - Mexican Winter Chili. I'm cheating a bit since it isn't even close to winter, but I would call this a fall chili more so than winter. Everything about it screams (BOO!) fall, from the color all the way to the ingredients. Another misleading fact is the name...there are actually no beans in this chili at all. The chili-like consistency is created through the use of pureed pumpkin. I look at this dish as jazzed up comfort food to enjoy on a brisk fall day. The addition of a poblano chili pepper (sold in most stores under the incorrect name of a pasilla pepper) gives it a warm spiciness that isn't overbearing but complimentary. You can find the recipe at the link above, but after tasting as I cooked, I upped the amount of all spices (except for the garlic powder and cocoa powder) and made a few adjustments below. The picture does not do this dish justice but it really does look like this (unfortunately). One taste, however, and you'll be hooked.
adapted slightly from Better Homes & Gardens
1 - 1 1/4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, cut into bit size pieces, or buy pork stew meat if available
2 TBL olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large fresh poblano pepper, finely chopped
1 large red pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
18 ounces chicken broth
1 15 ounce can pureed pumpkin
1/4 cup whipping cream
Fresh cilantro
(Note: The amounts for the spices is approximate since I didn't exactly measure - taste as you go remembering you can always add more but not less!)
In a Dutch oven cook and stir pork in hot oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in onion, poblano, and sweet pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in cocoa powder, cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, and cayenne. Add broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until pork is tender.
Stir in pumpkin, cream, and salt and black pepper to taste. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes. Top with fresh cilantro. Makes 4 (1-1/4 cup) servings.

Detroit IT wants: Online bill-pay, form-filing, parking meter fixes
The ability to access and file park permits and other forms online ranks atop a list of potential priorities for improving Detroit's IT infrastructure, according to an online poll of Crain's readers this week.
There were 750 votes cast in the poll, which was posted online Monday. (Haven't voted yet? Check it out here.)
Beth Niblock, the city's new chief information officer, is tasked with fixing Detroit's broken information technology and ushering the city into the 21st century. While she's focused now on getting the back-end system up and running, she will soon turn her attention to solving problems that impact residents' day-to-day lives.
We asked readers to pick their top three suggested IT improvements. Among the results:
- 153 votes (20 percent) went to this suggestion: "Make all city forms available online —park permits and principal residence exemptions, for example —and allow residents to file them from the website."
- "Make it easier to pay for parking tickets, property taxes and other bills online" received 112 votes (15 percent).
- "Fix parking meters; put them on a mobile payment system" received 88 votes (12 percent).
Among the "other" suggestions that readers put forward: "Put online a check register for every bill payment the city makes;" "free city Wi-Fi" and "time lights on all main thoroughfares, including Jefferson Avenue downtown."
Do you agree, so far, with the poll results?

Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein deep inside a part of the body. It mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, but can occur in other deep veins such as in the arms and pelvis.
Alternative Names
DVT; Blood clot in the legs; Thromboembolism; Post-phlebitic syndrome; Post-thrombotic syndrome; Venous - DVT
DVT is most common in adults over age 60. But it can occur at any age. When a clot breaks off and moves through the bloodstream, it is called an embolism. An embolism can get stuck in the blood vessels in the brain, lungs, heart, or another area, leading to severe damage.
Blood clots may form when something slows or changes the flow of blood in the veins. Risk factors include:
- A pacemaker catheter that has been passed through the vein in the groin
- Bed rest or sitting in 1 position for too long, such as plane travel
- Family history of blood clots
- Fractures in the pelvis or legs
- Giving birth within the last 6 months
- Pregnancy
- Obesity
- Recent surgery (most commonly hip, knee, or female pelvic surgery)
- Too many blood cells being made by the bone marrow, causing the blood to be thicker than normal (polycythemia vera)
- Having an indwelling (long-term) catheter in a blood vessel
Blood is more likely to clot in someone who has certain problems or disorders, such as:
- Cancer
- Certain autoimmune disorders, such as lupus
- Cigarette smoking
- Conditions that make it more likely to develop blood clots
- Taking estrogens or birth control pills (this risk is even higher with smoking)
Sitting for long periods when traveling can increase the risk for DVT. This is most likely when you also have 1 or more of the risk factors listed above.
DVT mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, most often on 1 side of the body. The clot can block blood flow and cause:
- Changes in skin color (redness)
- Leg pain
- Leg swelling (edema)
- Skin that feels warm to the touch
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam. The exam may show a red, swollen, or tender leg.
The 2 tests that are often done first to diagnose a DVT are:
- D-dimer blood test
- Doppler ultrasound exam of the area of concern
Blood tests may be done to check if you have an increased chance of blood clotting, including:
- Activated protein C resistance (checks for the Factor V Leiden mutation)
- Antithrombin levels
- Antiphospholipid antibodies
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Genetic testing to look for mutations that make you more likely to develop blood clots, such as the prothrombin G20210A mutation
- Lupus anticoagulant
- Protein C and protein S levels
Your provider will give you medicine to thin your blood (called an anticoagulant). This will keep more clots from forming or old ones from getting bigger.
Heparin is often the first drug you will receive.
- If heparin is given through a vein (IV), you must stay in the hospital. However, most people can be treated without staying in the hospital.
- Newer forms of heparin can be given by injection under your skin once or twice a day. You may not need to stay in the hospital as long, or at all, if you are prescribed this newer form of heparin.
Depending on your medical history, a drug called fondaparinux may be recommended by your doctor as an alternative to heparin.
A blood thinning drug, for example warfarin (Coumadin), is often started along with heparin. Examples of other drugs that may be prescribed include rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran, and edoxaban. Your doctor will decide which medicine is right for you.
- These drugs are taken by mouth. It takes several days to fully work.
- Heparin is not stopped until the drug has been at the right dose for at least 2 days.
- You will most likely take the blood thinner for at least 3 months. Some people must take it longer, or even for the rest of their lives, depending on their risk for another clot.
When you are taking a blood thinning drug, you are more likely to bleed, even from activities you have always done. If you are taking a blood thinner at home:
- Take the medicine just the way your doctor prescribed it.
- Ask the doctor what to do if you miss a dose.
- Get blood tests as advised by your doctor to make sure you are taking the right dose. These tests are usually needed with warfarin.
- Learn how to take other medicines and when to eat.
- Find out how to watch for problems caused by the drug.
You will be told to wear a pressure (compression) stocking on your leg or legs. A pressure stocking improves blood flow in your legs and reduces your risk for complications from blood clots. It is important to wear it every day.
In rare cases, you may need surgery if medicines do not work. Surgery may involve:
- Placing a filter in the body's largest vein to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs
- Removing a large blood clot from the vein or injecting clot-busting medicines
Follow any other instructions you are given to treat your DVT.
Outlook (Prognosis)
DVT often goes away without a problem, but the condition can return. Some people may have long-term pain and swelling in the leg called post-phlebitic syndrome.
You may also have pain and changes in skin color. These symptoms can appear right away or you may not develop them for 1 or more years afterward. Wearing compression stockings during and after the DVT may help prevent this problem.
Blood clots in the thigh are more likely to break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolus) than blood clots in the lower leg or other parts of the body.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your provider if you have symptoms of DVT.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have DVT and you develop:
- Chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Difficulty breathing
- Fainting
- Loss of consciousness
- Other severe symptoms
To prevent deep vein thrombosis:
- Wear the pressure stockings your doctor prescribed.
- Moving your legs often during long plane trips, car trips, and other situations in which you are sitting or lying down for long periods.
- Take blood thinning medicines your doctor prescribes.
- DO NOT smoke. Talk to your doctor if you need help quitting.
