Chinese Chow Chows are the most claim-prone dog breed according to new survey conducted by Direct Line Pet Insurance.
Nearly two thirds (64 per cent) of Chinese Chow Chows have had incidents leading to their owners claiming on their policies. Boxers and Bull Terriers are the second and third most likely to vist the vet.
Chow Chows, which hit the headlines in 2013 after a Chinese zoo tried to pass them off as lions, are susceptible to some serious health problems which may explain the high volume of claims. These include entropion, whereby the eyelids are turned inwards due to their small eyes which causes irritation and pain. Chow Chows also suffer from hip and elbow dysplasia which is malformation of the joints leading in many cases to pain and disability.

FDA warning against high dose antidepressant prescription may be unwarranted, study finds
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's warning that high doses of the antidepressant citalopram can cause potentially serious abnormal heart rhythms might be doing more harm than good.
In 2011, the FDA attached a warning to the drug, also known as Celexa, based on data linking higher doses of the drug to potentially fatal abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart.
The new Ann Arbor VA Healthcare System and University of Michigan study, however, calls into question the FDA's warning after finding no increased risk for abnormal heart rhythms or death in patients who took daily doses of more than 40 milligrams before or after the warning took effect.
Since the warning went into effect, physicians have begun to limit citalopram prescriptions, even though higher doses can offer relief to some high-risk depression patients.
The study, which was published online today in the American Journal of Psychiatry, is the largest analysis to date of outcomes related to citalopram use.
"Our findings raise questions about the continued legitimacy of the FDA warning and provide support for the question of whether the warning will do more harm than good," says Kara Zivin, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at U-M, research investigator at the VA Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) and the study's lead author.
Helen Kales, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry, research investigator at CCMR, and the study's senior author added, "For some patients, a dosage higher than 40 milligrams per day can be very beneficial. Unfortunately the FDA's warning may have made attaining such a prescription more difficult."
The researchers analyzed data from more than 600,000 Veterans Health Administration patients who received citalopram prescriptions between 2004 and 2009. The study also examined patient outcomes for more than 300,000 patients who were prescribed a similar antidepressant, sertraline, which does not have an FDA warning.
Results indicated no elevated risks of ventricular arrhythmia or death related to higher dosages of citalopram. In fact, higher dosages were associated with fewer adverse outcomes than lower dosages. Similar findings were observed in the comparison drug sertraline, which is prescribed without warning.
Zivin says additional exploration into the possible link between citalopram and cardiac risks will be necessary to provide further guidance to clinicians who are considering the drug for their patients. The new results, which appear to contradict the basis for the FDA's warning, present clinicians with a conundrum.
For example, Zivin notes, physicians may wonder, "Should dosages be modified for those with risk factors for cardiac complications? Should health care providers alter how they prescribe this drug to new patients, or order ECGs for patients at risk before writing a new prescription? Or should patients be switched to other antidepressants with similar profiles, but no warning? These are all things clinicians need to consider."
She adds, "Currently, clinicians whose patients benefit from high dosages of citalopram must choose between following the FDA's warning or risking worsening depression if patients receive too low a dosage."
Zivin says she and her research group are exploring options for further studies examining how the warning has influenced patients' use of the drug.

Boeing, Bank Of America, Gloops Join Roster For MLB 2012 Openers In Japan
By Barry Janoff
March 19, 2012: Gloops, a Japanese social application provider that develops and operates social applications for mobile phones, has been named the title sponsor for Japan Opening Series 2012 and Boeing will be a "major sponsor" during the two games scheduled for March 28-29.
Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Other companies on the roster for the series between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's include Bank of America, Lawson Ticket, Sankyo and Sato Pharmaceutical. In addition, Ito Ham will sponsor the Fighting Spirit Award.
Organizers of Gloops Japan Opening Series 2012 include MLB, MLB Players Assn., Nippon Professional Baseball and the Yomiuri Giants.
MLB will open its season in Tokyo for the fourth time but the first time since the Boston Red Sox and Athletics played at the Tokyo Dome in 2008. The 2012 games are also scheduled for the Tokyo Dome. Several exhibition games are also being planned leading up to the March 28-29 opener.
"We are very excited to have Gloops as a title sponsor for Japan Opening Series 2012," Paul Archey, svp-International Business Operations for Major League Baseball, said in a statement. "Gloops is a popular Japanese company that develops Major League Baseball-themed gaming applications. We look forward to working with Gloops on the highly anticipated opening of the 2012 MLB season in Japan."
As part of their title sponsorship deal, the Gloops event logo will appear on both team's batting helmets. Gloops will also be the sponsors of the Oakland As jersey patch.
As part of its deal, Boeing will sponsor the jersey patch for the Seattle Mariners. In addition, Boeing will oversee a clinic for young ballplayers in Ishinomaki, Japan. A group of kids from the clinic will participate in a special pre-game ceremony prior to the first game of the series.
"The opportunity to spotlight our relationship with the Seattle Mariners in Japan, a place where Boeing has had a strong presence for more than five decades, gives us a great deal of pride," Mary Foerster, vp-communications and marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a statement. "The Mariners have been valued community partners since the club was founded, and the Japan series expands our shared tradition of investing to make our communities stronger and more vibrant."
According to Bob Aylward, Mariners evp-business operations, "Boeing is one of the great companies of the Northwest and they are one of the best supporters the Mariners have ever had. This is a first for us to wear a sponsor logo on our uniforms and there is no one we would rather have on our jerseys than Boeing."

A Sun investigation reveals a confounding crisis — Nevadans consume about twice the national average per capita of prescription narcotics.
Painkillers play a vital role in medicine, but experts struggle to explain why so many are consumed in Nevada.
Theories abound — the black market is thriving, tourists drive up the numbers and hurried doctors may too quickly write prescriptions.
One thing is sure: As the rate of painkiller use climbs, so too does abuse. And Clark County's overdose deaths from prescription narcotics now outnumber those from street drugs.

Twenty years seemed like FOR-EV-ER when the original stars of "The Sandlot" stood again on the makeshift Glendale, Salt Lake City baseball diamond where the beloved 1993 movie was made.
Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna, Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Victor DiMattia: They're names aren't well known, and few have gone on to careers in movies. But they are the kids whose faces are forever linked to little league and summer.
So it was pretty special when Squints, Ham and Yeah-Yeah were on hand in Utah for a screening of the beloved movie, a baseball clinic with Angels AAA-affiliate Salt Lake Bees, and even a marriage proposal.
"I told him if it was going to happen, it better be special," said the newly engaged Stacey McGillis, whose new fiancee, "Sandlot" director David Mickey Evans, got down on one knee over home plate.
Evans, who credits the movie with giving him a career, said bringing "The Sandlot" back to its original home was a fitting tribute.
"Nowhere does this movie mean as much to everyone, especially us, as it does right here in S.L.C.," Evans said.
The anniversary event was a collaboration between the Utah Film Commission and the Glendale Community Council. They prepared for the weekend celebration by transforming four backyards where the film was shot to look like the original movie set.
"I think we underestimated how many people loved the movie and how much it meant to people," said film commission director Marshall Moore.
And how. Adults wore Squints-esque spectacles, and "You're killing me, Smalls!" t-shirts, and even the Bees players -- major leaguers -- were star-struck meeting the "Sandlot" kids.
Patrick Renna, who memorably played catcher Hamilton "Ham" Porter, was blown away by the turn out.
"I don't think any of us, when we were playing basically on this field 21 years ago could have every know there would be 1,500 people here to watch us play baseball," he said.

No, Snowden Didn't Have Any 'Other Avenues' To Blow The Whistle
from the let's-get-real deptOne of the key points that defenders of the NSA surveillance efforts keep making is that if Ed Snowden was so upset by what was happening he had "other avenues" to make his concerns known. Jennifer Hoelzer, whom you may recall from the post she wrote here about President Obama's supposed desire for an open debate concerning NSA surveillance, has penned an excellent piece for Slate, once again debunking the President. This time, it's about those supposed "other avenues" he had. As she notes, the problem is that anyone he took these concerns to would brush him off by claiming "it's legal." But the real concern the public has is the very fact that the NSA and so many of its defenders think this is legal.
If Edward Snowden had concerns that one of his co-workers was abusing the NSA's surveillance authority to—for example—collect data on a former girlfriend or blackmail a member of Congress, he could have reported his concerns to a supervisor, and it's highly likely that person would have done something about it.This is a key distinction that very few defenders of the NSA (and who are attacking Snowden) seem to grasp. The fact that the public -- and many in Congress -- have since spoken out in outrage over the program certainly suggests this is a key point. Every time NSA defenders argue "well, it's legal" they miss out on the fact that a very large number of people don't care because they don't think it should be legal at all. That's the debate we're trying to have -- and it's the one President Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Mike Rogers, Keith Alexander and James Clapper still can't even recognize is the key question.
But, contrary to what the president seems to think, Edward Snowden wasn't concerned that the NSA was "improperly" collecting information on hundreds of millions of Americans. He was concerned that the government was collecting information on hundreds of millions of Americans. And how exactly does the president think Snowden should have raised that concern?
Either way, as Hoelzer notes, Snowden really had nowhere to "complain" to about this actual issue:
Snowden's former employer, Booz Allen, which requires employees to report "all suspected violations of the law" and cautions them to "take care to not report a violation to someone that [they] believe is involved in the matter."Okay, well, what about Congress? Multiple people have suggested he could go talk to members of Congress. But, not so fast. Hoelzer takes a look at the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's website where it has a page on How to File A Whistleblower Complaint, explaining the "process" for contacting Congress (if you aren't comfortable raising the concern within the intelligence community, which, clearly, Snowden was not). But, again, not so easy:
Well, nearly everyone Edward Snowden worked for—up to and including the president of the United States—was involved in the matter. So, again, whom exactly should he have gone to with his concerns?
But then I noticed a problem. Before bringing an "urgent concern" to Congress, the guidance states that all potential intelligence community whistle-blowers must first notify the DNI of their "intent to contact the congressional intelligence committees directly." In other words, if Snowden wanted to inform the Senate intelligence committee that the DNI had lied, he would first have to inform the DNI that he intended to inform on him. That seems like it could be a problem.So, really, what "official channels" could Snowden have possibly used? As Hoelzer notes, the only way to really blow the whistle on this was to go "over the head" of the federal government and the President -- and that's to go to the American public.
But, let's say it wasn't. Let's say the director of national intelligence did the honorable thing and allowed Snowden to go to the Senate intelligence committee with evidence that he lied. Would Snowden have had any reason to believe going to Congress would make the least bit of difference?
Probably not, since the House and Senate intelligence committees were already aware of the NSA's activities. And, having worked for Wyden, a committee member who spent years trying to raise concerns about domestic surveillance, I can tell you, individual members of Congress were virtually hamstrung from doing anything about the administration's activities. Especially since the executive branch's classification rules forbid the senator from sharing his concerns with anyone outside of the intelligence committee, including staff.
I understand Obama's frustration. No one likes it when someone goes over his head. It's humiliating. But when the guy in charge appears to be a significant part of the problem, sometimes the only way to resolve the problem is to let his boss know what's going on. And when the guy in charge is the president of the United States, that means letting the American people know what he's been up to.On that front, it appears that Snowden did exactly the right thing in how he blew the whistle.

Boeing's largest plane, the 747 has been an icon in the sky for just over 40 years.
And now, Reuters is reporting that the first copy of the latest and greatest version, the 747-8 Intercontinental, has been delivered to a secret VIP customer.
Boeing has not identified the customer for the plane, but typically customers for jets like this are heads of state or multimillionaires.
While the VIP buyer has not been unveiled, it is known that the Secret Service is searching for a replacement for the current planes that are serving as Air Force One. According to Aviation Week, Boeing is the only bidder to replace Air Force One and the 747-8 is one of the planes they are touting.
So far, Boeing has orders for 36 of the 747-8. Twenty of these are from German carrier Lufthansa while nine orders are coming from similar VIP customers. Delivery dates have not been set for Lufthansa to receive its first plane.
Deliveries of the Intercontinental were supposed to start over 12 months ago, but like the 787, there have been a number of production delays.
This 747-8 is now off to Hamburg to be outfitted with a bespoke interior. Reuters says that it is expected to take an additional two years before the interior is complete.

Electric car drivers will soon have more stations at Chicago's airports where they can charge their vehicles.
The Chicago City Council approved the proposal Thursday to expand the number of electric charging stations.
O'Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport each will have six stations that can charge a vehicle in four to six hours and one station that can charge a vehicle in less than an hour.
A concession agreement lets the Chicago Department of Aviation collect a portion of revenue from the charging stations. CDA will be reimbursed for the cost of electricity as part of the revenue sharing agreement.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the charging stations are an example of his administration's commitment to make Chicago a green city.

The New Jersey Jets may finally be about to get their man.
Denver Nuggets all star Carmelo Anthony could soon be heading to New York in a three-team trade, reports ESPN.
According to sources close to the deal, the trade could involve as many as 15 players and possibly be finalized within the next few days.
Though the pieces are still moving, the ESPN report says that the Nets would get Anthony and Denver guard Chauncey Billups along with guard Rip Hamiliton from the Detroit Pistons. Denver would receive two first round picks, plus Nets' guard Devin Harris, forward Derrick Favors and Anthony Marrow. They would also get Quinton Ross, Ben Uzoh and Stephen Graham from New Jersey.
Detroit would pick up Johan Petro and the expiring contract of Troy Murphy from the Nets.
This would mark the second time that the Nets have been close to acquiring Anthony, who has been a star in the league since being drafted out of Syracuse in 2003. In September of last year, a four-team deal involving Denver, New Jersey, Utah and Charlotte came close to going through, but the Nuggets pulled out at the last minute.
The deal would be a coup for the Nets and owners Mikhail Prokhorov and Jay-Z. The team plans to move into a new arena in Anthony's native Brooklyn in 2012 and have been looking for a franchise player since missing out on LeBron James last summer.

FORT RUCKER, Ala. (May 1, 2013) - May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and while the nationwide campaign sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urges drivers to "share the road" with motorcyclists, Army officials are placing greater emphasis on personal responsibility while riding.
In general, motorcycle accidents within the Army do not follow national trends, according to Brig. Gen. Timothy J. Edens, director of Army Safety and commanding general, U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center.
"Historically, most fatal motorcycle accidents involving Soldiers are single vehicle," Edens said, explaining that nationally, many riders are killed when other drivers do not allow them room to maneuver in time to prevent a collision. "Even when we've lost Soldiers in multi-vehicle accidents, it's often been the direct result of indiscipline on the Soldier's part: alcohol use, excessive speed or lack of personal protective equipment."
Army accident data show that speeding and other forms of reckless riding, neglecting to wear PPE, and failure to complete required training are among the most common indiscipline-based errors Soldier riders make. Alarmingly, leaders and Soldiers over the age of 25 have comprised the majority of rider fatalities during the past several fiscal years.
Although motorcycle fatalities have fallen markedly in 2013 - current statistics indicate a 59 percent decrease as compared to this time last year - officials expect numbers to rise through the end of summer.
"We've had a great year so far, but it's also been a long winter in many places," said Command Sgt. Maj. Richard D. Stidley, USACR/Safety Center. "As the weather warms and more riders hit the road, their risk is going to increase. Managing it is key to staying alive for another riding season."
The Army-mandated Progressive Motorcycle Program, which promotes lifelong learning through staggered riding courses based on proven practices from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, is now in its second year and has received positive reviews from Soldiers. A complement to that training, the Motorcycle Mentorship Program, is already well established and boasts chapters in 48 states. The MMP pairs novice riders with experienced motorcyclists to foster an environment where enthusiasts continually learn from and keep one another safe.
"The PMP and MMP are just two of the great programs the Army has in place," Edens said. "It's incumbent upon leaders to ensure their riders know about them, get the proper training and ride responsibly. We now have an entire month dedicated to motorcycle safety, so there's no excuse for not getting a head start on summer."
Stidley said leaders should also remember their Soldiers are watching.
"Discipline and responsibility are not a function of rank," he said. "Leaders are just as accountable to the standard as their Soldiers, and they should be setting the example."

What if you're wanting to consolidate or reduce debts, but you don't really have any sort of collateral? You don't own a home or a car, but you do have some debts you'd like to manage and potentially reduce. What do you do?
I found myself in this situation several years ago, even before my financial turnaround. At that time, I took the advice of a friend and visited my local credit union.
It's perhaps easiest to think of a credit union as a co-op bank. A credit union is typically owned by its members, with the proceeds from the credit union being redistributed to the members either through better benefits and services or through a return on money deposited there.
Most credit unions are also founded with the mission of participating in the community and helping out people in the community in various ways. Often, this can mean extending credit to people in marginal situations through loans of various kinds, as well as financial education and assistance to its members.
What does that mean for you? It means a credit union can be a great place to look if you're trying to get a grip on a big pile of debt, whether you have valuable assets or not.
The first step is to find a credit union that you're eligible to be a member of. Many communities have credit unions that are open to everyone in that community. Some large employers have credit unions open to employees of that company or organization. It's likely that you're eligible to be a member of multiple credit unions.
Next, make sure you have an accurate picture of your financial situation. One good thing to do is to make a list of all of your debts, their monthly payments, their interest rates, and their current balances, as well as a list of your monthly bills. Doing this is useful whether you actually go to the credit union or not.
You'll also want to check out the services available at the credit union you're looking at. Do they offer some sort of debt consolidation or debt counseling service? Many credit unions have people that help members with these types of things.
Once you have those things, sign up for a membership there. Usually, this just means proving that you're eligible for membership there and opening up a draft or savings account with a minimum balance, which is usually tiny. (At the credit union I am a member of, the minimum balance is $5.)
Then schedule an appointment. Often, you'll have to pencil in an appointment with one of the people working at the credit union to look over your situation. If you're unsure, ask for an appointment for a debt consolidation.
Be sure to bring all of the information you collected to this meeting. They'll review it with you and help you to find any programs they might have that can help you cut your interest rates and monthly payments.
A credit union is a very useful tool for someone who is trying to get their debt load under control. Don't neglect to use it.

EatDrink Tasting at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
This past Saturday afternoon, June 23rd we had a chance to visit with some of our favorite partners here in Las Vegas, The Cosmopolitan Hotel and conduct a tasting in their EatDrink retail shop. The hotel has been a supporter of ours since the beginning, pouring the Pinot Noir at their stylish and hip, Vesper Bar along with being served at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and Comme Ca. With the new vintages, they now have both our Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc at EatDrink, a really cool gourmet store, featuring wines, cheeses and retail items.
The shop had Corey spend the afternoon pouring both of the wines, tasting out some of their regulars and a great collection of some of our Las Vegas supporters. Check out photos of the event here to see everyone having a great time! EatDrink's staff has already invited us back to host another tasting later this Summer and they are thrilled to be partners with us at Labor Wines.
In addition to the next tasting with them, we'll be visiting with the great folks over at Khoury's Fine Wine & Spirits in Las Vegas coming up in July – date to be determined, so we will let you all know for sure soon! We're also planning a visit to New York City later this Summer, in August and hopefully will be tasting some of our back East friends then too.
If you have a story, pictures enjoying Labor or would like to place an order, feel free and share with us on Facebook or via Twitter. As well, you can always email me directly, email@example.com or call on cell, 702.466.0987.
Everything takes Labor to accomplish. Labor Wines – A Labor of Love.

Miley Cyrus naked with bleached eyebrows on 'W' cover
Cyrus talks style and sexuality.
Once again, Miley Cyrus has left little to the imagination.
The 21-year-old singer/headline maker appears on the cover of the March issue of W magazine in the flesh, straddling a white pillow and sporting bleached eyebrows -- a look she's sported before, mind you.
And in the accompanying interview -- written by Ronan Farrow, who has been making his own news of late -- she talks style and sexuality.
"I just don't get what half the girls are wearing. Everyone to me seems like Vanna White," says Cyrus of her peers within the industry. "I'm trying to tell girls, like, '(expletive) that. You don't have to wear makeup. You don't have to have long blonde hair and big (expletive). That's not what it's about. It's, like, personal style.' I like that I'm associated with sexuality and the kind of punk-rock (expletive) where we just don't care."
Her style inspirations? "Like Madonna or Blondie or Joan Jett – Jett's the one that I still get a little shaky around. She did what I did in such a crazier way. I mean, girls then weren't supposed to wear leather pants and, like, (expletive) rock out. And she did."
She also talks about having trouble with friends: "I have a lot of people that I could call and hang out with, but I have very few friends, if that makes any sense. Like, I just don't tell a lot of people anything. Everyone's always like, 'You're so sketch.'"
Cyrus says at this point, she's got nothing left to prove: "You know, I've made my money. If no one buys my album, cool. It's fine. I've got a house, and I've got dogs that I love. I don't need anything else."
More from Miley:
On haters: "Anyone that hates on you is below you, because they're just jealous of what you have."
On dating: "I don't need you to impress me."
On guys watching porn: "Guys watch too much porn...those girls don't exist."
Her similarities to Blanche from A Streetcar Named Desire: "I'm Blanche to a T, complete psycho."
The legalization of marijuana: "I just want it to be back to where it's, like, organic, good weed."
The March issue of W hits newsstands Feb. 8.

News from recent graduates. . .
Jessica Adams
After I graduated in 2009, I was thrown into the unkind world of job-hunting during a major recession. I began substitute teaching and eventually entered the credential program at Fresno State. In 2011 I was offered a position with the Marjaree Mason Center as the Training Coordinator and it is still part of my position with the agency today. I am active in the community, especially during election seasons, and spend a lot of time helping the younger generation (i.e. my son) stay open minded, respectfully question everything, and push for equality in all aspects of life. The Women's Studies program and its faculty helped me in so many ways. They made me more confident in my abilities as a person, and gave me some of the tools necessary to succeed in the fields I wanted to pursue. They taught me that activism isn't and option, it's a necessity - and it's fun!
Leila Alamri
I graduated in May of 2012 as a double major in Political Science and Women's Studies, with a minor in Middle East Studies and a certificate in Legal Studies. I was also a member of the Smittcamp Family Honors College. I was very active on campus, as an officer in the Women's Alliance and a key organizer of Take Back the Night 2011. I also held an officer position in the Muslim Student Association, and helped organize various rallys and events. As a feminist activist, I quickly grew fond of our Free Speech Area, and utilized it for many events. The Women's Studies Program also provided me with lots of opportunities to do various types of research ranging from Muslim American feminists, to pregnant and parenting students on our campus, to how sexual harassment complaints are dealt with in the workplace.
Not only did my degree in Women's Studies help strengthen my own identity, but more importantly, it taught me how to recognize the social contexts in which we are all placed. To the current Women's Studies majors-- I would recommend that you use this time to build your arsenal of vocabulary and critical thinking skills before you graduate. You will have to go back into a world that does not believe intersectionalities of race, class and gender are significant... or that they even exist. A degree in Women's Studies will provide you with unique skills to analyze and interpret the world through a lens which is very valuable, and often silenced.
I am currently in my first year of law school at San Joaquin College of Law, and I hope to someday be a voice of information for my marginalized communities of women, Muslim Americans, and people of color.
Mary Ann Dawkins
My name is Mary Ann Dawkins and I graduated from Fresno State in spring of 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Women's Studies. After I graduated, I landed a job at Behavioral Interventions: Merced Day Reporting Center as a Client Service Specialist. The Day Reporting Center is a program funded through Merced County Probation. Felony probationers are referred through their probation officers to attend classes such as substance abuse, parenting and life skills, work/employment workshops, submit to random drug testing and attend one-on-one counseling. I facilitated our women's group for all the female probationers once a week, as well as a few of the other groups the DRP offered. To me it was such a wonderful feeling to talk to these women about various female issues as well as introduce them to new thoughts about themselves and the world. Through the DRP I discovered what I really wanted to be in life, a probation officer. Fast forward a year later, I am now a Deputy Probation Officer for Madera County Probation. I am currently working in the adult division and I currently carry the Madera Day Reporting Program Caseload: High risk offenders 18-25 years old. Right now is an exciting time to be a probation officer because the law enforcement culture in California is truly changing due to the passage of Assembly Bill 109. As a probation officer, my goal is not only to make sure that public safety is maintained but that I am also helping my defendants change their lives for the better, whether that be giving them referrals to other substance abuse programs, work programs, educational services, community service, counseling or self-help groups. I definitely enjoy what I do every day, and I look forward to growing in my career!
Karina Renee Lopez
On May 2012, I graduated as a double major in Women Studies and Social Work and minored in Deaf Studies. I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Hong Kong for winter break 2012. I also participated in the BASW Title IV-E Child Welfare Program through the Department of Social Work.I was a peer counselor through the Women's Resource Center, an active member and President of Women's Alliance. I also participated in P.O.W.E.R, AASSWA and SWSA. I had the privilege of organizing Take Back the Night and performing in the Vagina Monologues.
Since graduation, the majority of my time has been spent searching for employment near and far. As of August 23rd 2012, I have been working at Marjaree Mason Center as a Client Service Advocate in the city of Fresno, CA. My heart is set on, pursuing a Masters degree in Social Work and fulfill the necessary requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Eventually, I see myself traveling around the world and practicing Child Welfare through a Feminist perspective.
My advice to the next cohort of Women's Studies graduates is if you do not have the answer never assume, simply ask. Someone will have your answer or guide you to the appropriate source. Do not be afraid to voice your opinion, you are your own advocate and any change begins with you first.
Lindsay Milchovich
"Since I graduated from Fresno State, I went into the Police Academy in Fresno. I graduated in December 2009 and was hired by Kerman Police Department on August 2010. I am working as a police officer at Kerman police department and I'm on patrol right now so I'm not able to narrow down my passion for the job, but I like to pay special attention to domestic violence calls and calls involving children. When I'm not working, im catching up on sleep, working out ( it relieves the stress) and reading. I love this job even though its hard and Im around high stress situations daily."
Breanne Schlimick
"Since I completed my Women's Studies degree I have held a wide range of organizing jobs. I have worked as a union labor organizer in different parts of the United states. I was a grant writer for a non-profit that focused on housing and infrastructure issues in low-income, rural areas of California. Now I am in graduate school in San Francisco studying public health. After completing my M.A., I plan to pursue my Ph.D."
Geri Yang
"New passions: I have finally become serious about learning and documenting traditional food practices and how to make traditional food from both my parents. Just recently my father taught me how to make cuv (similar to sake) and my mother taught me how to make tofu. These are traditions that I believe are so valuable in keeping me close to my heritage. Life Changes: It took traveling the world to realize how much I really love the Central Valley and the richness right here. So it's settled. I'm staying and making it home!"

Over 150 Fab Projects Lead to Strong 2010 and 2011
Robust Equipment Spending and More Installed Capacity Expected
By Christian Gregor Dieseldorff, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics, San Jose, California (September 1, 2010)
Analysis of the latest edition of the SEMI World Fab Forecast indicates a 133 percent increase in equipment spending for Front End fabs this year and about 18 percent growth in 2011. Worldwide installed fab capacity (without Discretes) is expected to grow by 7 percent in 2010 and another 8 percent in 2011. Fab construction spending will increase by 125 percent in 2010 and an additional 22 percent in 2011.
SEMI's fab database has been tracking individual fab projects by company since 1992. Using this "bottoms-up" approach, the data reveal that for both 2010 and 2011, over 150 fab projects will contribute an estimated $83 billion in spending. The projects tracked include construction projects and equipment spending for high volume, smaller capacity, MEMS, and Discrete, including LED, fabs.
Construction Projects Pick Up
Current investments in construction assure additional capacity for the future. The World Fab Forecast has identified a total of 54 construction projects for 2010 and the result is about $4.5 billion in construction spending. About half of these projects are for LED facilities (mostly in China), while 14 are for Foundries and six are for Memory fabs. Of the 54 construction projects, 22 are new facilities that will begin construction by the end of this year.
About 28 construction projects, including two greenfield sites, are on the horizon for 2011— representing another $5.5 billion in investment.
Examining construction projects by industry sector, Foundries are expected to spend the most in 2010 (over $2 billion), followed by Memory. However, this will change in 2011, when Memory companies increase investments in huge fab construction projects with over $3 billion in spending.
2010 spending totals for construction projects reflect a growth rate of 125 percent compared to 2009. However, because 2009 was such an unusually weak year, $4.5 billion remains the lowest yearly total since 2003. Even 2011 spending, with about $5.5 billion projected, will be lower than levels seen between 2004 through 2007.
Figure 1 illustrates construction spending over time compared to the number of fabs in the construction phase. In 2011, fewer but larger fabs will carry higher construction costs.
Figure 1
Equipment Spending in 2010 Not So Dramatic, when Compared to Prior Years
Spending on equipping fabs will increase by 133 percent in 2010 to an estimated $34 billion. This is a record growth rate, albeit off of the historic low of 2009 (Figure 2). If compared to 2008 spending, however, 2010 total equipment spending will be only 27 percent higher. If compared to 2007, 2010 spending is actually 11 percent lower. The World Fab Forecast report predicts spending in 2011 to increase 18 percent, bringing total spending to $39B, finally surpassing 2007 spending levels. In other words, it will take three years for spending to recover from the downturn that started in 2008.
Figure 2
Spending on equipping fabs includes Discrete (such as LED and MEMS), Pilot lines and R&D facilities around the world. Although LED fabs represent a relatively small portion of spending (about $1.4 billion in 2010), this sector shows the most robust growth rate for the year. Memory fabs will spend the most on equipment in 2010, followed by Foundries, MPUs and Logic. This trend is expected to continue in 2011.
Fabs Beginning Operation
SEMI's World Fab Forecast also provides details of facilities beginning operations in 2010 and 2011. By the end of 2010, about 22 facilities will begin operations. Analyzed by sector, half of these are LED, six are Foundries, three are Analog and two are Logic. No new Memory fabs will begin operation in 2010. However, in 2011, another 28 facilities are expected to begin operations, including four Memory fabs.
More Capacity Expected to Come Online in 2010 and 2011
By late 2009, companies announced increased capital expenditures for 2010, with some companies announcing additional increases over successive quarters to reach record levels. Large investments in upgrades naturally lead to increases in capacity. Worldwide installed fab capacity (without Discretes) is expected to grow by 7 percent by the end of 2010 to 14.4 million 200 mm equivalent wafers per month (wpm), and by another 8 percent in 2011 to 15.8 million wpm (Figure 3).
Figure 3
After large losses of capacity in 2009, due to closing fabs and bankrupt companies, installed capacity in 2010 will creep back up to slightly surpass 2008 capacity levels. By 2011, installed capacity growth will fall in line with historical levels. The Memory sector accounts for the largest share of worldwide installed capacity, about 41 percent in both 2010 and 2011. Foundry capacity follows having grown their market share from 24 percent in 2009 to 26 percent in 2011.
Good Times, and "Somewhat More than Normal Uncertainty"
Triggered by the economic downturn and panic of late 2008, the last two years will be remembered for severe cuts and under-spending to levels never seen before. The spending spike that began in the second half of 2009 and continues into 2010 is actually a self-correction from the downturn. Slower growth rates will prevail in 2011. Even with the dramatic increases in spending and capacity this year, it will take until the end of 2011 for the industry to recuperate and show more sustainable, normal progress.
In recent months, many have voiced concerns about supply/capacity outstripping demand in the context of a possible "double dip" recession. The industry has shown how flexibly and quickly it can adapt to the "ups and downs" of the larger economy; within one year, it recoiled from drastic historic cuts to record spending growth rates. To quote George Burns, president emeritus of Strategic Marketing Associates and founder of the Fab Database Reports, the industry now enjoys "good times in the middle of somewhat more than normal uncertainty."
In these uncertain times, SEMI's World Fab Database reports continue to track individual fab projects very closely. Updates and more information on the reports can be found at www.semi.org/fabs.
SEMI World Fab Forecast report provides from high-level summaries and graphs; in-depth analyses of capital expenditure, capacity, technology and products, down to the detail of each fab; and forecasts for the next 18 months by quarter. These tools are invaluable for understanding how 2010 and 2011 will look, and learning more about capex for construction projects, fab equipping, technology level, and products.
The difference between the SEMI Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Subscription (WWSEMS) data and the World Fab Forecast and its related Fab Database reports is that the fab database reports track any equipment needed to ramp the fab, upgrade technology nodes, expand or change its wafer size whether it is new equipment, used equipment, or in-house equipment, while WWSEMS tracks only new equipment.

The Splendid State Of Pop In 2009
The state of pop is strong. Very strong. Last year was filled with exciting new music from established artists and massive hits from promising newcomers who ruled the charts around the world.
With such a hot and buzzing pop scene, the GRAMMY voters can't possibly have an easy job making their final picks this year.
One of the standout artists last year was Beyoncé who deservedly received a whopping 10 GRAMMY nominations for her infectious brand of R&B/pop on I Am...Sasha Fierce. The singer received nominations for Album Of The Year ("I Am... Sasha Fierce"), Record Of The Year ("Halo") and Song Of The Year ("Single Ladies [Put A Ring On It]").
Among other established artists who were noted by The Recording Academy were Pink (who had a massive year strutting her girl power), Seal (who teamed with David Foster for a soul standards album) and Stevie Wonder who never ceases to amaze with yet another GRAMMY nod.
A great deal of attention in 2009 was paid to newcomers Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, who energized audiences at home and abroad with their genre-crossing brand of pop.
After being hailed by music bloggers as pop's next big thing, followed by such early TV appearances as MTV's Logo in May 2008, Lady Gaga was catapulted into superstardom with songs like "Poker Face," "Paparazzi" and "Bad Romance." Even Madonna took note of this artist who turned out to be one of the best-selling artists of the year. The fashionista combines a strong point of view with a compelling performance that has fans hungry for more.
Taylor Swift has climbed from Nashville obscurity to global fame at only 20 years old. Very impressive. But it should not come as a big surprise. Her GRAMMY-nominated second album, Fearless, is filled with heartfelt crossover country/pop that people young and old can relate to.
In an environment that is ruled by intricate productions and musical extravaganzas, Swift shows that authenticity and straight-from-the-heart songwriting still rules. Swift is up for eight GRAMMYs, including Best Pop Female Vocal Performance.
When super-producer will.i.am discussed the Black Eyes Peas' much-anticipated new album, The E.N.D., during last year's GRAMMY Awards, he wasn't sure how the group's new album would be received. But he had nothing to worry about. Together with GRAMMY-nominated French club maestro David Guetta, the Black Eyed Peas created a futuristic mesh of pop, hip-hop and electronic music. It's a fresh sound that has opened the door to more European-styled electro in American pop music.
Last year also marked the long-anticipated comeback of pop/soul crooner Maxwell. Refreshed and replenished, the singer delivered the stunning Blacksummers' Night, which showed that after eight years out of the spotlight he still has his signature smooth touch. The Recording Academy agreed and awarded him with six nominations, including nods for Song Of The Year ("Pretty Wings"), Best Male Pop Vocal Performance ("Love You") and Best Pop Instrumental Performance ("Phoenix Rise").
Other notable pop artists in 2009 included Kelly Clarkson and Whitney Houston who delivered solid new albums. There were also lots of exciting newcomers who have a firm shot at GRAMMY success in the future. Artists like Chester French, Santigold, Jay Sean, Kid Sister, and Vampire Weekend all provided just the right balance of sweet and crunchy that has put them firmly on the radar.

Big Lib Ashley Judd Wants to Run for Senate Against Mitch McConnell
Hollywood liberal Ashley Judd is making plans to run for US senate against Republican leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.
Judd is a big anti-gun lib. She cut ads for some wackadoodle leftist group against Sarah Palin in 2008.
Judd would rather see the wolves poisoned than shot. Now, that's humane.
The Politico reported:
Ashley Judd vs. Mitch McConnell?
It might not be as far-fetched as you think.
The Hollywood movie star and eighth-generation Kentuckian is seriously exploring a 2014 run for the Senate to take on the powerful Republican leader, four people familiar with the matter tell POLITICO. In recent weeks, Judd has spoken with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) about the possibility of a run, has discussed a potential bid with a Democratic pollster and has begun to conduct opposition research on herself to see where she's most vulnerable in the Bluegrass State, sources say.
Whether Judd jumps into the race remains far from certain. She's reportedly also weighing whether to wait until 2016 to instead take on freshman Sen. Rand Paul, sources say.
But if Judd does become a candidate, she would be the biggest celebrity to run for the Senate since Al Franken's successful 2008 bid for the Minnesota seat.


text: Transcoding from FLAC to AAC ??? VBR and CBR ??? 2017-10-08 15:04:26 Hello, so I'm searching for answers to some questions about the transcoding to AAC from a FLAC. I'm curious enthusiast, without experience, and I like logical explanations. So please make it sound simple as possible. So I'm searching for optimal transcoding to AAC, preserving as much important data as possible. The track is complex with mix of sounds and speech.After a lot of time searching and experimenting, and testing I will explain as:Decision 1 = It is impossible for me to hear the difference between certain original lossless and transcoded lossy version, when properly played on my PC, outputting it to my receiver, trough my sensitive speakers.Next question = How else can I understand what is the difference?Decision 2 = Using a Spectrogram for different transcoding of the same lossless track, even small parts of it, I determined that FDK AAC encoder at VBR=5 is best for preserving the spectogram of the original lossless track.NOTE: due to common examples and comments I did not consider to even try ABR or CBR mode of the encoders. So i was happy with this result for a period of time and then came the question: Am I using the full potential this transcoding and can it become more efficient?So after more self education, reading experts opinions, and so ... I came to: There is a common understanding that humans can't hear above 20 KHz. And it gets worse with age, plus exposure to loudness of the environment leads to differences. BUT there is lack or not enough Clinical or Other tests under Controlled environment with participants from different groups. The same situation, maybe even worse, is with the testing for the advantages of 24-bit audio over 16-bit, where most test are in uncontrolled environment, and were the participants are guessing between the two. There are only people claiming to hear the difference. Decision 3 = 95-99% of people after 20-25 years will not hear above 17.4 KHz. Considering myself exposed to ordinary (or even less than ordinary) loud sounds, I determined to have little-damaged ears for my 30 years. leading to Decision 4 = I do not consider the sounds above 15,5 KHz important, hearing them as WOFF'S and SHUSH'S, undistinguishable in the overall mix of the track. Also the very quiet sounds like from -110 dB to -90 dB are not important, because i will have to listen the track so loud, that it will probably be very unpleasant and will permanently damage my hearing.So when i was experimenting with the removing of the sound above 15,5 KHz, I used a CBR mode for one encoding, and than we came to my Paradox.The CBR version is preserving more detail and is similar to the original than every VBR, and as expected with smaller files. "What... that is a mistake???" I used FDK and Apple AAC encoders in different CBR modes to be sure. And again and again the CBR versions were closer to the original in the diapason that matters. I used Apple's CBR and CVBR modes with limitation of 448 kbps and 512 kbps. I did not considered using less, because of so called transparency - 64 kbps per channel. Another thing is that the 448 kbps CBR and CVBR versions, are same as the 512 CBR and CVBR versions, but the 448 ones are again smaller in size I will experiment more… but for now as I see things, my new favourite will be one of FDK CBR @ 448 kbps or Apple CVBR @ 448 kbps.So I'm attaching the screens from the spectrograms so you can visually see what I see. These are the differences between the original lossless FLAC track compared to the lossy AAC. Or as I understand them – these are the sounds that the FLAC file have and the AAC don't. To be less complex I used only a single channel. So my questions are:1. Why is that happening?2. Is it not true that VBR modes, should be superior to CBR.3. Or is there something else I'm missing?Feel free to give opinions, but please let them be meaningful!Thanks

APEC Forum in Washington, D.C
SAN FRANCISCO — A delegation of sixty California wineries will exhibit in Wine Institute's California Pavilion at the first-ever ProWine China 2013 Trade Fair Nov. 13-15, 2013 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The wineries will represent 110 brands and 32 American Viticultural Areas, and regional associations representing Napa Valley, Paso Robles and Santa Barbara wine regions will have a presence in Wine Institute's Pavilion at the sold-out trade show. Thousands of wine buyers are expected to attend.
China is the fifth largest market for California wine exports. In 2012, U.S. wine exports, 90% from California, reached $73.6 million to China, up over 18% from the previous year. U.S. wine exports year-to-date for the eight months Jan. - Aug. 2013 were up 4% by value to China compared to the same time period last year.
News reports say the China wine market is slowing because the Chinese central government began a new austerity program in 2012 that limits spending on gift giving and entertainment by government officials. A portion of private companies in China are also said to be adopting reductions in expenditures to fall in line with government policy.
"Despite the austerity measures, China remains one of the world's fastest growing wine markets, and we are continuing to invest in our California wines awareness program and a full slate of category building efforts," said Linsey Gallagher, Wine Institute Vice President of International Marketing. U.S. wine exports to China, 90 percent from California, have grown dramatically by over 2700% in a decade, from $2.6 million in 2003 to $73.6 million in 2012.
Since 2000, Wine Institute has conducted annual trade missions to China and engaged a full-time marketing agency that has been in place in China for three years. The "California Wines Master Class" program launched last spring will be expanded to 25 cities throughout the country for trade and media covering history, climate, regions, varietals and food pairing. Wine Institute also sponsors several annual tours of California wine country for Chinese media and trade. These activities support Wine Institute's California wines awareness-building campaign in China which includes retail and on-premise promotions, consumer events, advertising, point-of-sale and educational materials, a dedicated website www.discovercaliforniawines.com.cn and social media.
In support of its Asia marketing efforts, Wine Institute is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Wine Regulatory Forum's 2013 Technical Workshop in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 4-6, 2013. More than 130 wine regulators and stakeholders from 20 Pacific Rim governments will meet as part of the first year of a new five-year "Good Regulatory Practices Action Plan," sponsored by the U.S. Government, to facilitate the wine trade among the Asia-Pacific countries.

NEWPORT, R.I. – Junior DeRon Brown, who entered Saturday's tilt as the nation's leading rusher, rushed for 248 yards and four touchdowns to lead MIT to a 34-19 win over Salve Regina University in New England Football Conference Boyd Division action at Toppa Field.
Senior Robert Utz also scored for the Engineers, who improved to 5-3 (3-2 NEFC) with the win. Sophomore Rob LaRiviere-Tougas piled up 156 yards rushing for the Seahawks, who lost their second-straight contest in falling to 3-4 (2-3 NEFC) on the season.
The Engineers defense – led by junior Steven Nunez's 13 tackles (10 solo) – held Salve Regina to 6-of-17 on third-downs and 4-of-9 on fourth downs. MIT also sacked Seahawk junior QB Jeff St. Onge three times, including two by freshman Jared Darby.
The Seahawks struck first, taking a 6-0 lead on a 12-yard scoring pass from St. Onge to classmate Ben Hall with 8:36 remaining in the first quarter. The scoring strike capped a 13-play, 46-yard drive.
The Engineers knotted the game at six just 39 seconds into the second half when Brown capped a 19-play, 60-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run. After a quick three-and-out by the Seahawks, Brown scampered 68 yards for a touchdown to put MIT in front 13-6 with 11:26 remaining in the half.
LaRiviere-Tougas' team-high eighth rushing touchdown of the season – a 14-yard burst with 5:26 left in the half – tied the game at 13 with 5:26 on the clock. MIT closed the half with a 10-play, 58-yard drive that Utz polished off with a five-yard touchdown run that gave the Engineers a 20-13 halftime lead.
In the second half, Brown's third rushing touchdown of the afternoon – an 81-yard burst – put the Engineers in front by two touchdowns at 27-13 with 5:49 left in the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, St. Onge hooked up with junior Matt Shubert on a seven-yard touchdown pass that closed the gap to 27-19. The PAT following the score was blocked. On the ensuing drive, Brown capped a three-play, 46-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run, bringing his season total to 21 and putting a close to the scoring.
Following consecutive penalties to start the drive that left the Engineers facing a first-and-25 from their own 39-yard line, MIT junior signal-caller Rich Mancuso hooked up with junior Mike Fitzgerald for a 49-yard pass completion that put them on the Seahawk 12-yard line.

"We are proud to have them as members of our 2010 staff. Our team has very ambitious goals entering the 2010 season and Bob and Jake will no doubt help us reach them."
Erker was named performance manager for his knowledge and experience of racing both internationally and in North America. He ran operations with his previous team, Symmetrics. Last year Erker raced for KBS allowing him to get to know the program and athletes from a unique perspective.
Gregorio joins KBS as the team's mechanic from the BCR-Pizza Hut-KHS-Powerade team, one of the best team's in Costa Rica. Over the last three seasons, Bob has worked with the KBS team at international stage races, including the Vuelta Ciclista del Uruguay and the Vuelta a Chihuahua. Gregorio is best known for his work as personal mechanic for legendary mountain biker, John Tomac.
"We're entering the 2010 season the strongest rosters KBS has seen and they will be supported by our strongest set of staff yet," said managing director, Charles Aaron. "Both Erker and Gregorio bring expertise that is second to none in the pro cycling industry." Jacob Erker at the 2009 Canadian nationals
Erker and Gregorio join a strong management team at KBS including Kolyn Kirkham and Eric Jellum, team mechanics, Ryan Kelly, team sougnier and Jonas Carney, performance director.
After training camp in early February, the team will race on two fronts. Gregorio will head to the Vuelta Independencia Nacional in the Dominican Republic and Erker will direct a team at the Tour of Luzon in the Philippines.
In 2010, the team will work to expand its international schedule, making a return to Asia in the early season for several races including the OCBC Cycle Singapore and the Tour of Thailand. The team will also make two trips to Europe, once in the spring to prepare for the Tour of California and again in the summer. To learn more about KBS Pro Cycling, please visit www.kbsprocycling.com.

ALBION, Mich. – Cornerback Chris Greenwood was tired of watching the Albion College defense get nickel-and-dimed by Alma College's hitch routes. Greenwood jumped a sideline route and returned an interception 70 yards for the winning score as the Britons eked out a 27-26 victory over their Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association rival.
The victory was not complete, however, until Julian Paksi blocked Alma's extra point kick with eight seconds remaining. Undeterred by Greenwood's pick six, Alma marched 69 yards in 11 plays. The Scots' scoring drive was capped by Jarrett Leister's 2-yard strike to Barak Henderson.
Greenwood covered Henderson, the MIAA's leading receiver, like a blanket in the first half. Alma moved Henderson to the slot to free him for seven catches that covered 124 yards, but the Scots didn't account for Greenwood on a third down snap from the Albion 35-yard line.
"Chris is always ready when they throw his way," Albion Coach Craig Rundle said after collecting his 82nd win to pass Morley Fraser for second place on the school victories ladder. "Chris was locked on Barak Henderson in the first half and Henderson didn't catch a meaningful pass. They put Henderson in the slot to get him away from Chris. That was a huge play because we needed a spark."
The first half didn't feature much offense – Spencer Krauss hooked up with J.C. Cruse on a 70-yard pitch and sprint down the sideline – as Albion led 7-3 after 30 minutes.
Albion extended the lead to 10-3 as Clinton Orr returned the second half kickoff 76 yards to the Alma 11 and the Britons settled for a 26-yard field goal by Nick Pendell.
The Briton defense stuffed Alma running back Ed Mason on a fourth down play from the Albion 5-yard line, but the offense was unable to gain a first down of its own. The Albion punter was not able to handle the low snap at the back of the end zone resulting in a safety.
Alma needed just five plays after the free kick to score its first touchdown and vault into the lead, 13-10. Jarrett Leister's 36-yard strike to Henderson moved the Scots to the Albion 1, and Ed Mason ran into the end zone on the next play.
In one of the themes of the afternoon, Albion's offense answered. Krauss completed a 34-yard pass to Zach Brewer and Orr followed with a 12-yard gain on the ground. Orr hauled in a short screen pass over the middle from Krauss and he cut to the sideline for a 32-yard touchdown that put Albion back in front 17-13.
The offense went to work again after Alma's 12-play, 76-yard drive to go up 20-17, as Albion moved in position for Pendell's 35-yard field goal to tie the score at 20 with 8:17 left in the game. Brian Spencer was the key receiver, hauling in passes of 22, 7, and 9 yards.
"We were erratic on offense," Rundle said. "We did good things in spurts. I was disappointed with our performance in the red zone. We left points out there by failing to finish drives."
The Albion defense took the ball away from Alma three times. Mike Vandermus forced and recovered a fumble when he sacked Leister and Devin Burnett stopped the Scots' first possession with a fumble recovery.
