SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Correctional Officer Scott Jones kissed his wife goodbye on July 8, 2011, and headed off to a maximum-security prison in the remote high desert of northeastern California. He never came home. Jones' body was found a day later, along with a note explaining why the 36-year-old took his own life: "The job made me do it."    Suicide is distressingly common among current and former California prison employees. The guards' union counts 96 confirmed or suspected suicides among current and retired members between 1999 and 2015.    The annual suicide rate among union members exceeded California's overall suicide rate of 10.3 per 100,000 people in 13 of those 17 years, according to an Associated Press analysis of union data. The number peaked at 13 in 2012, a rate more than four times that of the state's general population.    Now, a first-in-the-nation study coordinated among the union, California's corrections agency and University of California, Berkeley researchers is trying to figure out why and what to do about it.    Inmate suicides have been intensively studied, but until now there has been limited research on how the job affects correctional employees, Berkeley researcher Amy Lerman said - and virtually none on programs that might help officers cope.    "I think it reflects a growing recognition across the country that correctional staff and law enforcement are experiencing these types of issues and it needs to be taken seriously," Lerman said.    About 10 percent of prison guards say they have considered or attempted - http://www.ehow.com/search.html?s=attempted suicide, a rate nearly three times that of the general U.S. population, according to data provided to the AP from a survey completed by 8,300 of California's 30,000 correctional and 수원출장안마 - https://www.softanma.com/8-jingkou parole officers.

It's even higher among retired guards - about 14 percent, similar to the suicide risk among military - http://rt.com/search/everywhere/term/military/ veterans.    Half of correctional officers expressed at least one symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder.    Researchers cited officers' frequent exposure to violence and injury, their perception of constant danger, and their reluctance to share traumatic experiences with family members or counselors.    In response, the union is asking Gov. Jerry Brown's administration to hire a social worker for each of the state's 35 prisons next year and is seeking stronger confidentiality protections for workers who seek help.    California Corrections Secretary Scott Kernan said currently available assistance programs are not used enough. He promised to consult with experts to see what the department can do better.    One hurdle to helping troubled officers is the stigma or perception of weakness among such workers.    The best solution seems to be having a highly trained peer support program that can connect troubled officers with mental health professionals, said Daniel Beaman, a correctional officer and California Correctional Peace Officers Association official.    That approach has helped reduce suicides among law enforcement officers, according to The Badge of Life, a widely cited prevention program that attempts an annual national tally of police suicides. The number fell 14 percent between 2012 and 2016, continuing a decline since 2008 and dropping the rate below that of the general population, although there was a reported increase last year.    The organization attributed the decrease to more aggressive mental health and peer support programs, and a growing willingness among troubled police officers to get help.    Like police officers, prison guards go to work each day knowing they could face violence. It's a reality softened by the financial rewards - California guards can earn more than $100,000 with salary and overtime and have top-notch health care and retirement plans.    Beaman equates being a prison guard to the time he spent as a Marine in Iraq in 2005. Battles there were alarmingly similar to what he experienced during a fight among about 300 Kern Valley State Prison inmates in 2010.    "The smell, the sounds were way too familiar," he said. "Bam - I went from one war right to another one."    Stephen Walker remembers sleepless nights during the 16 years he spent as a California youth correctional officer in suburban Los Angeles, and ultimately sitting on his couch "debating on whether to just end it all."    Walker, now the union's chief lobbyist, will try again to pass a state law protecting public safety workers' confidentiality if they seek help. The union also is lining up California congressional support for requiring the federal government to study and fund mental health programs for law enforcement officers.    The Berkeley study comes too late for Jones and his family - and for at least three other High Desert State Prison guards who the Lassen County coroner's office says died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds between 2008 and 2013.    In a final three-day span, Janelle Jones said her husband threatened to kill himself, felt immediate relief when he quit his prison job, then was on his way in to reclaim his job when he killed himself. She sued the state alleging her husband essentially was harassed to death by other guards who feared he might rat them out over a bogus worker's compensation claim after he injured his knee during horseplay with another officer.    She eventually settled for $73,000.    "We hugged and kissed goodbye. Everything was perfectly normal," she said. "Then we discovered the gun was missing, and you know the rest of the story."

Justin Bieber may have trouble keeping his foot off the accelerator.

The 19-year-old pop star has once again been accused of driving recklessly inside his gated Southern California community, police say.

The Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department confirmed to TMZ that police visited Bieber's Calbasas, Calif., house Monday night after receiving multiple phone calls from neighbors concerned about how fast the pop star was driving. Children were said to be playing nearby when Bieber was seen allegedly speeding through the area in his Ferrari - http://www.business-opportunities.biz/search/?q=Ferrari . The calls to 911 reportedly - http://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=rep... came from two separate locations within the quiet residential neighborhood.

Sources have told E! News the one of the concerned callers who spoke to police was former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson.

This hasn't been Bieber's only recent speeding troubles.

The 19-year-old performer was previously accused in March of driving recklessly near his home. Bieber allegedly spit on and 서산출장마사지 - https://www.anmapop.com/%ec%84%9c%ec%82%b0%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... threatened to kill one of his neighbors who confronted him at the time, according to reports. Local prosecutors are currently reviewing that case.

Bieber has yet to comment on this most recent incident.

Four years after getting the vaccine, 94 percent of women were protected from infection with the virus that causes most cervical cancers and none had developed worrisome precancerous conditions, a study showed.

"We're thrilled about these results. The immune responses seem to be really long-lasting," said Dr. Eliav Barr, who leads development of the vaccine for Merck and Co. The company plans to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval next year for an expanded version of the vaccine that also could be used to prevent genital - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=preven... warts in both women and men.

The new study was funded by Merck and led by University of Washington researchers who presented results Monday at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.

"They showed clear effectiveness," said Dr. Scott Hammer, a Columbia University infectious disease expert who reviewed the work but has no ties to Merck or the study. "This is a very important issue for women's health around the world."

If the vaccine makes it to market, it would be the second developed to prevent cancer. The hepatitis B vaccine has dramatically reduced the number of infections that progress to liver cancer.

Cervical cancer strikes nearly half a million women worldwide each year and kills about half. In the United States, about 15,000 women get it and about 5,000 die.

Virtually all cases are caused by infection with human papilloma virus, or HPV, which is spread through sex. One strain, HPV-16, accounts for about half of all cervical cancers.

A previous study showed that HPV-16 infections were completely prevented in 768 women who had received the Merck vaccine 18 months earlier. None developed precancerous conditions either.

The new study followed 755 of these women for four years after vaccination. HPV-16 infections had taken hold in seven; none developed precancers. In a comparison group of 750 women who received dummy shots, infections took hold in 111 and precancers formed in 12.

Even though protection had waned for a small number of women in the study, the vaccine's effectiveness was still very high, said Dr. Douglas Lowy, a National Cancer Institute scientist who invented the vaccine. The government gave rights to develop it to two companies — Merck and GlaxoSmithKline — and Merck's work is a little farther along, Lowy said

r>

r>
"Revaccination might be advisable at some point," but it will take more study to know whether that is necessary or would improve effectiveness, he said

r>

r>
Women in the study were ages 16 to 23 when they received the vaccine, given in three doses over six months

r>

r>
"Most people think it would be recommended for young adolescents. The idea would be you would immunize people relatively soon before they become sexually active," because the germ is spread through sex, Lowy said

r>

r>
Meanwhile, Merck is in the final stages of testing an expanded vaccine. Besides HPV-16, it contains strain 18, which causes another 10 percent to 20 percent of cervical cancers, as well as strains that cause genital warts in men and women, and penile and anal cancers in men

r>

r>
About 25,000 women and men have been enrolled in that study in 34 countries, 남양주출장마사지 - https://www.popanma.com/%eb%82%a8%ec%96%91%ec%a3%bc%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec... and results are expected next year, Barr said

r>

r>
Giving the vaccine to men would not only prevent disease in them but also would prevent infections in their partners, said Steven Projan, a drug development expert with Wyeth who helped review research for the microbiology meeting. The vaccine also might prevent women already infected with HPV from developing cancer, he said.

You're engaged!...Now what?

There's a venue to book, a wedding party to pick, a certain dress to buy and so many other things that go into planning that one big day.

So start a wedding binder/email folder, grab a checklist (The Knot has one, as do other websites like Real Simple and WeddingWire) and take note of these tips for gearing up to say, "I do."

1. Make your guest list

Figuring out who will attend your wedding should be the first thing on a couple's to-do list, according to Sarah Pease, the owner/ creative director - http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=creative%20director of Brilliant Event Planning and David's Bridal's resident wedding and proposal planning pro. Decide if you're going to have an intimate gathering, a grandiose affair or something in between. Then...

2. Find a venue

As Pease points out, you can't make a decision about a reception space until you have an idea of how many guests you're planning on having. It's also important to take stock of your geographical preferences -- where you are from, where the groom is from and 아산출장안마 - https://www.opmassage.com/7-asan so on. Do you want to plan at a place that's more centrally located, or have a destination wedding? Once that's figured out...

3. Start dress shopping

Don't look for a dress before you know where you'll be getting married. "It's crucial to match a bride's dress to her venue and overall wedding day aesthetic," Pease said.

Experts advise purchasing a dress about eight months before your wedding date, and to plan on having three additional fittings before the big day -- the first at about six weeks out, a second one the month before and a final fitting at one to two weeks before the wedding day.

Those are three of the many things that must be decided leading up to a wedding. There's also choosing the bridesmaids and groomsmen, picking an officiant, deciding on invitations, buying wedding bands and so much more. Many checklists divide to-do tasks into when they should be done -- a few months out, a few weeks out, the week before, the day of and so on. For example, hire a photographer/videographer at about eight months before, send invitations three months before and confirm details with vendors one to two weeks before the big day.

But whether you've been planning for months or getting hitched more last-minute, there's just one big to-do for after the "I do" -- enjoying life as newlyweds!

Tell us: How are you planning your big day?

The date is set, the venue is booked. Now, what to wear down the aisle?

Shopping for a bridal gown can be exciting for any bride-to-be, but with so many choices out there -- silhouettes, necklines, fabrics, colors -- it's easy to see how it could also become overwhelming.

So, how (and where?) to find that perfect one? Jennie Ma, fashion editor at TheKnot.com, gave us a few tips to help guarantee - http://sportsrants.com/?s=guarantee you'll say "yes" to the right dress.

When to start shopping:

Brides should start looking for gowns eight months before they say "I do," Ma advised. That allows for time to find the right dress, as well as the fittings and alterations you'll need to ensure it looks perfect on the big day.

"It takes time to find the right dress. Some girls are lucky and they find it right away, but it does take longer for a lot of other brides. Definitely give yourself time -- you don't want to feel rushed," she added.

Where to look:

There are a number of different places where brides can look for 계룡출장마사지 - https://www.anmapop.com/%ea%b3%84%eb%a3%a1%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... a bridal gown, all offering different kinds of dresses and experiences.

High-end salons will carry all the top designers and give brides an intimate shopping experience, but it's not the place for a bride-to-be on a budget, Ma said.

Brides can also look for their dress at department stories, which can be a one-stop shop for the entire bridal party -- bridesmaids' dresses can also be found there, and the groom can find everything he needs as well. Some department stores also have partnerships with high-end designers (like Roses by Reem Acra at Nordstrom), offering dresses at more affordable prices.

Brides can also go the retail route, looking at lines offered by companies like J. Crew and Ann Taylor. "They're really great because they have amazing price points and it's another place where you can fully service your entire bridal party and get all the outfits in one place," said Ma.

How to figure out what you want:

Brides can find inspiration on websites like TheKnot.com, with galleries showing all the latest gowns from top designers. Magazines and Pinterest are other places where brides can look through pictures and see what they like -- and, perhaps more importantly, what they don't like.

But other factors from your wedding will also play into the decision-making process.

"I would say the first thing is to figure out your venue and what style you're going for, and that naturally will really help you narrow down what dress you're looking for," Ma said. "If you're getting married in this gorgeous ballroom, you know you need a really dramatic gown. You're not going to want something really simple. So that will inform the decision."

When you go -- be open-minded:

Personal style preferences, budget and the type of wedding a bride is having will all influence what kind of dress she wants. But, brides should still go into the shopping process with an open mind, Ma said.

"It's good to go in knowing what you want. It's good to be prepared and have an idea -- it will help your search process. But at the same time, be open minded," she advised.

So if a friend, family member or bridal consultant suggests you try on a dress, go for it! The worst thing that could happen is you reaffirm that ball gowns aren't your thing. But maybe, just maybe, that mermaid-style gown you didn't think would work will wow you.

As long as people don't increase - http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=increase the number of calories they consume daily, the FDA found "limited but not conclusive evidence" suggesting reduced risk of coronary heart disease when people replace foods high in saturated fat with the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.

According to the American Heart Association, coronary heart disease accounted for 502,189 deaths - or one in five deaths - in 2001, the most current statistic available. Another 13.2 million Americans that year survived the heart attacks, chest pains and other ailments caused by coronary heart disease.

Along with lowering cholesterol, cutting out cigarettes and exercising, the group says Americans can boost heart health by eating foods low in saturated fat, 의왕출장마사지 - https://www.anmaop.com/%e2%8c%a0%ec%9d%98%ec%99%95%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%... cholesterol and sodium. An American Heart Association spokeswoman declined comment on the FDA's action until it reviews the health claim.

"Since CHD is the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States, it is a public health priority to make sure that consumers have accurate and useful information on reducing their risk," Lester M. Crawford, acting FDA commissioner said in a prepared statement.

It's the third time the FDA granted a qualified health claim for conventional food.

Olive oil and certain food containing olive oil can now indicate that "limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about two tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil," the agency said.
