Internet usage dropped 15 percent during the Super Bowl as the football-obsessed and casual fans alike huddled around their TVs to watch the showdown between the eventual NFL champion Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.
That was the conclusion of a study released this morning by Sandvine, a firm that analyzes traffic on broadband networks.
And while hordes of people were pounding out tweets and Facebook status updates by the millions with their impressions on the Super Bowl ads, the blackout during the game -- and the companies that best leveraged social media during the power outage -- and, oh, yes, the actual football game, it appears that a whole lot of people stayed away from their computers until the festivities were over.
"While many might think the big game might cause big demand on fixed access networks," Sandvine wrote today, "the truth is while everyone is watching the game on their television they are actually giving the network a break from usage."
Sandvine said that Internet usage was down 15 percent during the game, a phenomenon it has dubbed "the Super Dip," and which exists despite the fact that the Super Bowl was streamed for free on CBSSports.com (which is owned by CNET parent CBS).
Still, while large numbers of people watched the game on TV, the live stream also generated a substantial audience among people with no access to a big screen, Sandvine reported. "For cord cutters or those not near a TV [the stream] would have been their only legitimate option," Sandvine wrote, "and thanks to the demand from these users the Super Bowl stream accounted for over 3 percent of total network traffic for the evening.
But despite a great deal of interest in Netflix's new series, "House of Cards," there was no obvious spike in Internet usage by people binging on that Kevin Spacey vehicle.

When you test your blood sugar, you learn your blood sugar level at that time. But you can't tell what's happening to your blood sugar the rest of the time-especially overnight. A continuous glucose monitor, or CGM, can do that for you. It reports on your blood sugar at least every 5 minutes, day and night. And it sounds an alarm if it sees that your levels are headed out of range.
A CGM has several parts. You wear one part-the sensor-against your skin. It has a tiny needle that stays under your skin. A transmitter is attached to the sensor and constantly reads your blood glucose level. It sends this information to the other part of the monitor, a wireless receiver that you (or a caregiver such as a parent) wear on your belt or in your pocket. Some insulin pumps include CGM. In this case, the insulin pump is also the receiver.
At any time, you can look at the receiver and see what your glucose level is. Some systems use text messages, apps, and websites. You can see if your level is going up or down-and how fast. You can see the trends and patterns of your glucose levels.
You note on the receiver when you eat, do exercise, and take insulin. That way you can see how those activities affect your blood sugar throughout the day and night.
All this detailed information gives you and your doctor a better idea of what your treatment needs are.
Continuous monitors are not as accurate as standard meters. At least several times a day, depending on the manufacturer's directions, you will have to prick your finger and use your standard meter to confirm what the CGM is telling you.
A CGM is constantly measuring your blood sugar. This information helps some people who have diabetes make decisions about what to eat, how to exercise, and how much medicine to take. Using a CGM has been shown to give people with type 1 diabetes better control of their blood sugar levels, with fewer low blood sugar emergencies.
The alarm feature of a CGM can be set to alert you if your blood sugar is quickly going up or down, or if you have a blood sugar level out of your target range. This is helpful for people who have problems knowing when they have low blood sugar (hypoglycemic unawareness). Parents, partners, or caregivers can be alerted when your blood sugar is dropping quickly while you are asleep.
You're most likely to be successful with a CGM if:

June blooms in central Kentucky
Honeysuckle and an old rose grow intertwined around the tall stump of an old cedar tree in our yard. It's June, and for now, they are making up for all their faults. The roses are a profusion of bright color, and the honeysuckle has a lovely fragrance.
This rose is an uncivilized semi-climber that probably dates back to the log cabin on this property. Some might call it an heirloom rose, but I call it an opportunist. With any encouragement, it throws out canes that are 15 feet or more in length. Wherever the canes touch dirt, they root down, and a new rose plant grows.
I once made the mistake of transplanting a cutting of this rose to a flower bed. After just one season of a softer life, thorny rose stems were sprawling off their pole teepee and rooting down everywhere. I had to dig it out, and it took me a couple of years to fully eradicate rose sprouts from the area. I learned my lesson! This rose is doing quite well enough in the spot where it has always grown! It needs some stress and regular encounters with the lawn mower to keep it in check.
Honeysuckle is one of the most invasive non-native plants in Kentucky. We have a big problem with it in our yard. It loves to get in the shrubbery and climb to the top where it can thrive in the sunshine. Before long, the health of the shrubs begins to suffer from sunshine-deprivation and the weight of the honeysuckle vines.
One way of controlling honeysuckle is to cut the base of the vine and spray it with Roundup. Then you can try to pull the vines down, but it's a difficult chore. Honeysuckle is a twiner, which means that the vines wind around and around whatever they're climbing. I am sure I would never be able to separate the honeysuckle vines and rose vines that you see in the photo!

April 7, 2013
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The No.20-ranked Florida State women's tennis team defeated Maryland 6-1 , moving to 12-5 (4-3 ACC).
"I'm really proud of how the girls redeemed themselves today," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "I was most proud of how each of them approached the day with their attitudes."
The Seminoles captured the doubles point behind a pair of convincing wins on courts one and two. Senior Francesca Segarelli and Kristina Schleich defeated Vronni Van Berlo and Sarah Gealer on court one by a score of 8-4.
Sophomore Daneika Borthwick and junior Kerrie Cartwright teamed up to defeat a Terrapin family pair of Nataliya and Olga Bredikhina, 8-3 on court two.
With the 1-0 edge, the Seminoles showed their dominance in singles by winning five of six first sets.
Segarelli (No. 109) put FSU ahead 2-0, after handling Gealer on court two, 6-1, 6-0. Segarelli is 21-10 in singles on the season.
While playing on court four, Cartwright earned her ninth win of her career against Gaistrick in dominating fashion, 6-1, 6-0.
Clinching the win for the Seminoles was Sargeant, as she delivered a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Olga Bredikhina on court three. With that win, Sargeant moves to 24-5 on the season.
The Terrapins got on the board after Borthwick (No. 31) fell to Van Berlo, 7-5, 6-4 on court one, making the score 4-1.
Florida State won the final two matches in play as Schleich defeated Nataliya Bredikhina on court five 6-1, 6-2, adding the fifth point.
Making her spring debut, junior Laurence Porry earned a three-set win over Stodowski on court six. Porry got out to a controlling, 6-3 first set win, before falling in a tight 7-5 second. Porry recharged for the tiebreak, taking it 10-6. Porry is 2-2 in singles for the year after closing out the dual for the `Noles 6-1.
"How great for Laurence to jump in to the line up and get her first win of the spring," Hyde said. "She stepped up big in the third set and literally took the match from her opponent. It was awesome to see her deliver in that situation and get the job done."
The Seminoles were able to bounce back from an upsetting, 4-2 loss at Boston College on Friday.
"We hit a small bump in the road on Friday," Hyde said. "Today, this team responded very well to that loss. They came out and dominated the match from start to finish. This sport will always provide so many opportunities for lessons to be learned, and there's no doubt that this is team is better now than we were before the loss on Friday. It was a wakeup call, and it got our attention, and this team is better for it."
Florida State returns home for two final matches of the season against Duke and North Carolina. The Seminoles will host the sixth-ranked Blue Devils at 4 p.m. on Friday at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. The match will be the `Paint it Pink' event for the `Noles.
The final match at home will be against the top-ranked Tar Heels on Sunday at 12 p.m. The Seminoles will honor their two seniors, Sargeant and Segarelli.
For more information on the matches, check back to Seminoles.com, Facebook and Twitter.

In Week 2 of the NFL season. Michael Vick passed for 371 yards and rushed for a touchdown in the final two minutes to give the Philadelphia Eagles a 24-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
Little did we know. Little did we know that Baltimore would hoist the Super Bowl trophy and Philly would free-fall.
The Eagles' 4-12 demise cost Andy Reid, the league's longest-tenured coach, his job. And presumably, the franchise was going to sever ties with Vick.
Instead, ownership and management decided to restructure Vick's contract and give him one additional year to show his stuff.
And what an intriguing year it will be, especially for those on the Peninsula and in...

Selected as a lead sponsor to CDP Cities, Jones Lang LaSalle helps cities advance energy and sustainability programs to position for economic growth and reduce environmental risks
CHICAGO, LONDON, SINGAPORE, 10th May 2011 - Jones Lang LaSalle, a leading global real estate services firm, has been named a lead sponsor to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Cities program to improve environmental sustainability in the world's largest cities, and thereby enhance their economic viability.
With CDP Cities, the Carbon Disclosure Project adapts the universally respected CDP reporting system to provide a global platform for city governments to report their greenhouse gas emissions and other sustainability-related information. Jones Lang LaSalle will use its global reach and expertise in advising cities and multi-national companies on energy and climate strategies to help refine the CDP Cities reporting criteria and to provide education and consultation to assist cities in improving their performance.
"Jones Lang LaSalle is uniquely positioned to be a valuable global real estate partner to CDP Cities," said Dan Probst, Chairman of Energy and Sustainability Services at Jones Lang LaSalle. "We have developed a world-class platform for large-scale measurement and reporting of carbon emissions, and are in the vanguard of companies able to help cities mitigate risk and seize opportunities in the new global green economy. We also have made a strong commitment to reducing our environmental impact, and have followed up on those goals with actions across our firm."
"CDP is delighted to welcome Jones Lang LaSalle as a partner on the program, with its knowledge in property sustainability, global reach and strong track record in environmental action," said Conor Riffle, Head of CDP Cities. "Land use and the built environment are important considerations for sustainable cities and Jones Lang LaSalle brings world-class expertise in these areas."
Under the agreement, Jones Lang LaSalle will provide CDP with input and assistance in the evolution of the questionnaire for municipal governments to report data relating to global climate change issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, anticipated infrastructure risks due to weather events and other environmental factors, and sustainability policies and trends in urban areas. Jones Lang LaSalle will be supporting CDP in its education efforts towards performance improvement through education seminars, webinars, and city events.
"The Carbon Disclosure Project plays a tremendous role in increasing the prominence of environmental factors in business and investment decisions," said Lauralee Martin, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "With the CDP Cities program, they have already shown that reliable, transparent information can guide cities to environmental policies and priorities to reduce their risk exposure and drive economic growth. Jones Lang LaSalle is fully committed to helping CDP take its Cities program to the next level."
CDP Cities expands the Carbon Disclosure Project's global climate change data system, which has been adopted by thousands of companies around the world. Launched in November 2010, CDP Cities works in partnership with the Clinton Climate initiative and the C40, an organization of 40 major cities around the world that have committed to tackling climate change. In 2010, CDP Cities invited the members of the C40 and 19 affiliate member cities to voluntarily measure and report information on managing environmental risks, reducing carbon and further adopting strategies that safeguard the future of cities. The program allows cities to report both quantitative climate change data, such as greenhouse gas inventories, and qualitative information that contextualizes unique characteristics of individual cities.

Women in politics focus of two events next week
March 2, 2012
The Women's Resource Center at Loyola University New Orleans presents two events next week geared towards encouraging young women to participate in politics, both in school and after graduation. Both are free and will be held in the Audubon Room, located in the Danna Student Center.
The first event, in collaboration with the Career Development Center at Loyola and the Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus Foundation, is the forum "Women in Politics," which will be held on Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30 p.m.
The event was created to make young women more aware of the details of the political process – both "behind the scenes" and as political candidates. It also aims to demystify politics, encourage women to become politically engaged, and to introduce a group of local women political leaders.
Natasha Bingham, assistant professor extraordinary faculty in the Department of Political Science, will serve as moderator for the panel, which includes:
- Karen Carter Peterson, Louisiana state senator and recently named chair of the Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus
- Laverne Saulny, New Orleans regional director for Senator Mary Landrieu
- María Pabón López, J.D., dean of the Loyola College of Law
- Brooke Smith, Mayor Mitch Landrieu's director of strategic partnerships
- Elizabeth Brusseau, Tulane University undergraduate student currently running for the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee
Students who attend are also invited to participate in the "Elect Her - Campus Women Win" workshop on Saturday, March 10 from 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Please contact Karen Reichard at email@example.com for more information and to register for this workshop.
"Elect Her - Campus Women Win," a collaboration between the American Association of University Women and Running Start, encourages and trains young women to run for student government on their campuses. Loyola was one of ten universities nationwide chosen to host the workshop the first year in 2010. This is Loyola's third year participating. The workshop includes several speakers and a facilitator from Running Start. The Honorable Regina Bartholomew, J.D. '99, will be the keynote speaker at this event, which features political consultant Renee Lapeyrolerie and Loyola Student Government Association members Michael Morin, Haley Humiston and Jasmine Barnes.
Since 1881, AAUW has been a leading voice promoting education and equity for women and girls. With nearly 100,000 members, 1,000 branches and 500 college/university partners' members nationwide, AAUW is committed to education, advocacy and research on behalf of women's equity.
Running Start is a nonprofit organization that brings young women to politics so that they are knowledgeable about the process, invested in the outcome and interested in participating as elected leaders. Their programs educate young women and girls about the importance of politics, and imbue them with the skills they need to be leaders so that they can get the "running start" they need to achieve greater political power.
For more information, contact Karen Reichard, Ph.D., director of the Women's Resource Center at 504-864-7881 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Randomized Evaluation in Legal Assistance: What Difference Does Representation (Offer and Actual Use) Make?
Yale Law Journal, Vol. 121, 2011
82 Pages Posted: 14 Nov 2010 Last revised: 6 Nov 2013
Date Written: July 29, 2011
We report the results of the first of a series of randomized evaluations of legal assistance programs. This series of evaluations is designed to measure the effect of both an offer of and the actual use of representation, although it was not possible in the first study we report here to measure constructively all effects of actual use. The results of this first evaluation are unexpected, and we caution against both over-generalization and under-generalization.
Specifically, the offers of representation came from a law school clinic, which provided high-quality and well-respected assistance in administrative "appeals" to state ALJs of initial rulings regarding eligibility for unemployment benefits (these "appeals" were actually de novo mini-trials). Our randomized evaluation found that the offers of representation from the clinic had no statistically significant effect on the probability that an unemployment claimant would prevail in the "appeal," but that the offers did delay proceedings by (on average) about two weeks. Actual use of representation (from any source) also delayed the proceeding; we could come to no firm conclusions regarding the effect of actual use of representation (from any source) on the probability that claimants would prevail. Keeping in mind the high-quality and well-respected nature of the representation the law school clinic offered and provided, we explore three possible explanations for our results, each of which has implications for delivery of legal services.
We conduct a review of previous quantitative research attempting to measure representation effects. We find that excepting the results of two randomized studies separated by more than thirty years, this literature provides virtually no credible quantitative information on the effect of an offer of or actual use of legal representation.
We discuss disadvantages, advantages, and future prospects of randomized studies in the provision of legal assistance.

A wide track ( not marked on the OSi Sheet 62) leads up into the forest. At T073820 B, where the track swings sharp right further into the forest, leave it and go left along another narrower, but substantial track, which exits the forest a short way along. This track then swings up right between the forest edge (right) and a fence (left) and leads up to the summit area some 1.5km along at T0571682359 C where it turns sharp left. The top lies to the left of the track some 100 metres further along and is marked by a cairn.. Distance up and back 5km. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/381/comment/5140/ Picture from simon3 simon3 on Ballycurragh Hill, 2003 by simon3 1 Apr 2003 I think I would recommend Ballycurragh Hill only to the most dedicated summit bagger. For a start as of 2003 much of the summit is covered by adolescent (very prickly) Sitka spruce. The summit itself is marked as being within these trees, though whether it is really there is hard to determine. As you can see from the 1:50k map the summit area is only partly unforested giving you at most a 90 degree view. None of the main southern Wicklow mountains are visible. Our trip to the summit was marred from the start. Although we had tried to start further south, we found a noisy scrambler competition in full swing so we actually started at the entrance that the Wicklow Way uses. There's space for one or two cars here, at T 070 836 D. There is a zig-zag pattern of forest roads represented on the map. The map turned out to be accurate as to the relative position of these tracks (though GPS showed absolute errors of as much as 300m). It should have been easy to walk up these zig-zags, if tedious. But we found the scramblers were using an unpredictable mixture of roads and routes through the trees. Having decided that discretion is the better part of valour during scrambler races we found ourselves walking up one narrow ride (unplanted linear gap in the forest) which abruptly stopped leaving us with a hands and knees route under the lower branches of the said Sitka. Finally emerging bedraggled from the trees we found that we were once again in the midst of the scramblers! Hurrying from them and with the help of the GPS we eventually found our way to the summit. Although the summit was part of the scramblers route, by the time we reached it, they had packed in for the day. The photo shows the small cairn near the top. The faint summits on the skyline are the Blackstairs to the South West. The ground rising to the left is part of the unnamed hill at 431m.

On the one hand, if you are only intent on bagging another top, it has got a lot easier of late. Starting at the forest entrance at T075 823 A (unmarked on the OSI 1:50,000, but detectable on the Healy map), head upwards until you reach T073 820 B. Here the main forest track turns sharply right, into the forest interior, but to the left a relatively new track now goes straight to the top of the hill between the edge of the forest on the right and fenced pastureland on the left. I would be inclined to place the summit – a rather pretentious word here – just to the right of where the track meets a wall of forest at the top, but a small mound of stones about a hundred yards to the left of this, at T0567 8229 E, obviously enjoys greater favour (see photo). If, on the other hand, you want to get the best from this 500+ hill, I would suggest a circuit that follows at first the Wicklow Way, starting either at T074 843 F (limited parking by the roadside) or higher up at T070 836 D (better parking) where the route enters the forest. The zigzagging forest trails on the OSI map are still accurate and allow one to plot the best course to the top without difficulty. I saved a GPS track of my walk and found, when later seen on the computer against the calibrated background of the scanned OSI map, that it followed the forest trails perfectly until it reached T063 828 G, approaching the top. Then, however, the track looped more widely around to the southwest. The forest trail now continues on beyond what is indicated on the OSI and soon begins to descend, so at some point there is nothing for it but to brave a prickly climb through the final few hundred metres of forest to the left. I branched off myself at T055 824 H. When you emerge by the summit, just follow the track between forest edge and fence down to the road, as described above, turn left and walk the final two or three kilometres back to your starting point. All in all, the hike amounts to 11 or 12kms. It's true that the view from the top of Ballycurragh is slightly disappointing, since it is really only clear to the SE, but the wider circuit of the mountain will not disappoint. It offers a fine view of Croaghanmoira to the NE and of Lugnaquillia South Prison to the NW from unusual angles.

It gets very wet underfoot, and there is a small amount of pushing through dense forestry. Despite Simon's rather negative comments, I think the view from the summit is worth the bother. The fact that none of the major south Wicklow mountains is visible even adds to the attraction, making this mountain somewhat unique. The view extends from Croghanmoira and the Irish Sea in the east (where the new wind farm is visible) over to the Blackstairs and Mt Leinster. The picture shows the summit cairn and the view over to Croghanmoira and Ballinacor. Note that the Healy map is not accurate with regards to the forest tracks on Ballycurragh Hill - the Sheet 62 OS map is better.

After taking the first turn left on forest tracks we proceeded for 330 metres from the turn and ascended through a fire break to meet the next forest track up on the 340 contour. From there we followed forest tracks to the end point as shown on sheet 62 close to the summit at T 057 824 J. This track actually continues further than the point shown on the map and it divides into a higher and lower option. Taking the higher and left of the two options we walked for 150 metres before heading left and directly uphill to the summit cairn as shown in Simon3's photo. I agree that the point shown on Sheet 62 as being the summit appears to be slightly lower that the area where the cairn is located. Thankfully our route did not require any difficult negotiation of Sitka and there are good views south from the summit area.

"Hey, You Got Your Snapdragon Chipset in My Xperia™ PLAY"
May 27, 2011
Qualcomm products mentioned within this post are offered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
Unlike the chocolate and peanut butter in Reese's chocolate peanut butter cups, it was no accident that Snapdragon and the Xperia PLAY found themselves together. This week Sony Ericsson launched the Xperia PLAY at Verizon, with Qualcomm's Snapdragon MSM8255 mobile processor with Adreno 205 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) inside. It is the world's first PlayStation-certified phone (and perhaps the world's most gaming-centric smartphone). And Sony Ericsson chose Snapdragon and Adreno to power it. If you're wondering why, check out this recently posted Qualcomm video, featuring Aaron Duke and Kim Ahlstrom from Sony Ericsson, talking about the Xperia PLAY with Snapdragon's Adreno GPU.
The Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset and Adreno 205 GPU together provide a fun and immersive gaming experience via the very device you will want to carry with you everywhere all the time – the new Xperia PLAY smartphone. Not only does Snapdragon contain powerful graphics processing — enough to rival some in-home console systems — but it also has a lot of other valuable integrated features like video capture and playback, music playback and a 1.4 GHz CPU. The Xperia PLAY has a 4-inch 854x480 display, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA front-facing camera, 512 MB of RAM, and is based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Perhaps more importantly, the device comes with seven preloaded games. And you can download over 50 more games via Verizon's VCAST apps store. I would say that another big reason that Sony Ericsson chose to work with Qualcomm is that Qualcomm is really into mobile gaming! Keep your eyes peeled in the coming days for more details on just how big into gaming Qualcomm has become. In the case of the Xperia PLAY, Qualcomm worked closely with Sony Ericsson not only to establish connections with some of the best mobile game developers and game titles around, but also to help game developers make sure that the games offered on the PLAY are the best they can be, using the Adreno graphics optimization tools. We're very pleased that Sony Ericsson chose Snapdragon for the Xperia PLAY device. We're confident you will be, too. The Xperia Play may not be as tasty as a Reese's peanut butter cup, but I'd say it's a lot more fun and lasts a lot longer! For more information on commercially available Snapdragon-based devices and on the Adreno graphics optimization tools, check out our developer site at developer.qualcomm.com.

Racing toward Mars, 10 minutes before reaching the atmosphere, the cruise stage ejects and then burns up in the atmosphere. Mission complete, cruise stage. Thanks for bringing the Curiosity rover 354 million miles (570 million kilometers) through the cold void of space.
On the heat shield, an instrument named MEDLI turns on. It's ready to measure how hot the spacecraft gets from the extreme friction of a rapid descent through the Martian atmosphere. Predictions are two times hotter than the space shuttle upon Earth entry! It will also measure how the spacecraft's orientation changes in interacting with the dynamic atmosphere. Engineers are excited about this data, the first collected in the atmosphere since the 1970s Viking landers. It will help improve the design of future missions to Mars, making them safer, more reliable, and lighter weight!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Railway Refused to Promote Woman to Yardmaster Position, Federal Agency Charged
BALTIMORE – Norfolk Southern Railway Corporation, one of the nation's premier transportation companies, will pay $60,000 and provide other relief, including providing a job to a discrimination victim, to settle a federal sex discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today
The EEOC charged that the railroad engaged in unlawful sex discrimination when it refused to provide Kathryn Class with training required for her to be promoted to a yardmaster position. The railroad removed Class from yardmaster training and replaced her with a less qualified male employee, claiming that it removed her from the training based on its policy prohibiting individuals from directly or indirectly supervising, or being supervised by, a relative. The EEOC argued, however, that the railroad intentionally discriminated against Class based on her sex because, notwithstanding its anti-nepotism policy, the railroad has employed many male employees who supervised, or who were supervised by, a relative.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in training and promotions based on sex. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Civil Action No. 09-02566, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the $60,000 in monetary relief to Class, the three-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit requires Norfolk Southern to offer her the next vacant position of yardmaster at its Baltimore terminal, consistent with applicable labor agreements. The company is enjoined from refusing to hire or promote employees based on sex and must provide annual training on the federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The railroad must also post a remedial notice and report to the EEOC on any denials of promotions pursuant to its anti-nepotism policy.
"The EEOC will take action when employers use company policies or practices to deprive women of equal training and employment opportunities," said Spencer H. Lewis, Jr., district director for the EEOC's Philadelphia District, which has jurisdiction over Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey and Ohio.
EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence added, "In addition to the monetary relief to Ms. Class, the consent decree provides important remedial relief designed to eliminate discriminatory barriers to career advancement and promotions for all female employees at this major employer."
In fiscal year 2010, sex-based charge filings with the EEOC soared to a record high level of 29,029 charges.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
