Associations among bullying, cyberbullying, and suicide in high school studentsSheri Bauman | Russell B. Toomey | Jenny L. Walker
Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2013, Pages 341-350
This study examined associations among depression, suicidal behaviors, and bullying and victimization experiences in 1491 high school students using data from the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Results demonstrated that depression mediated the association between bullying/victimization and suicide attempts, but differently for males and females. Specifically, depression mediated the link between traditional victimization and suicide attempts similarly across gender, whereas depression mediated the link between cyber victimization and suicide attempts only for females. Similarly, depression mediated the link between traditional bullying and suicide attempts for females only. Depression did not mediate the link between cyberbullying and suicide attempts for either gender. Implications of the findings are discussed, including the importance of greater detection of depression among students involved in bullying, and the need for a suicide prevention and intervention component in anti-bullying programs. Findings suggest that bullying prevention efforts be extended from middle school students to include high school students. © 2012 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Gender differences in adolescent sport participation, teasing, self-objectification and body image concernsAmy Slater | Marika Tiggemann
Volume 34, Issue 3, June 2011, Pages 455-463
This study examined gender differences in adolescent participation in sport and physical activity, in teasing experiences specific to the physical activity domain, and the relationship between adolescent physical activity and body image. A sample of 714 adolescents (332 girls, 382 boys) aged between 12 and 16 years completed measures of participation in organised sport and other physical activities, experiences of teasing specific to sport, self-objectification and body image. Adolescent girls participated in organised sport at a lower rate than boys, but experienced higher levels of teasing. Both girls and boys reported being teased by same-sex peers, but in addition, girls also reported being teased by opposite-sex peers (i.e. boys). Time spent on aesthetic physical activities was related to disordered eating symptomatology for both girls and boys. It was concluded that teasing and body image concerns may contribute to adolescent girls' reduced rates of participation in sports and other physical activities. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Is low empathy related to bullying after controlling for individual and social background variables?Darrick Jolliffe | David P. Farrington
Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 59-71
This paper examines the relationship between low empathy and bullying while also controlling for the impact of a number of other individual and social background variables linked with bullying. This included the relationship to the prevalence of bullying, but also to the frequency and type of bullying. Questionnaires were completed by 720 adolescents (344 females, 376 males) aged 13-17 in three secondary schools in England. The results suggested that low affective empathy was independently related to bullying by males, but not females. There was no evidence that low cognitive empathy was independently related to bullying, but high impulsivity was related to all forms of male bullying and to female bullying. The implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Can social support protect bullied adolescents from adverse outcomes? A prospective study on the effects of bullying on the educational achievement and mental health of adolescents at secondary schools in East LondonCatherine Rothon | Jenny Head | Emily Klineberg | Stephen Stansfeld
Volume 34, Issue 3, June 2011, Pages 579-588
This paper investigates the extent to which social support can have a buffering effect against the potentially adverse consequences of bullying on school achievement and mental health. It uses a representative multiethnic sample of adolescents attending East London secondary schools in three boroughs. Bullied adolescents were less likely to achieve the appropriate academic achievement benchmark for their age group and bullied boys (but not girls) were more likely to exhibit depressive symptoms compared to those not bullied. High levels of social support from family were important in promoting good mental health. There was evidence that high levels of support from friends and moderate (but not high) family support was able to protect bullied adolescents from poor academic achievement. Support from friends and family was not sufficient to protect adolescents against mental health difficulties that they might face as a result of being bullied. More active intervention from schools is recommended. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
The relationship between spirituality and religiosity on psychological outcomes in adolescents and emerging adults: A meta-analytic reviewJulie E. Yonker | Chelsea A. Schnabelrauch | Laura G. DeHaan
Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 299-314
The present study used meta-analytic techniques to examine the association between spirituality and religiosity (S/R) and psychological outcomes in adolescents and emerging adults. The outcome measures of risk behavior, depression, well-being, self-esteem, and personality were examined with respect to the influence of S/R across 75 independent studies encompassing 66,273 adolescents and emerging adults extracted from electronic databases between 1990 and 2010. Results showed significant main effect sizes of S/R with several outcomes: risk behavior, -17; depression, -11; well-being,16; self-esteem,11; and the personality measures of Conscientiousness,19; Agreeableness,18; Openness,14. Moderating effects were found for age, race, and type of S/R measure. Results show that S/R has a positive effect on psychological outcomes in adolescents and emerging adults. Possible explanations and implications of these results are discussed. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Negative school perceptions and involvement in school bullying: A universal relationship across 40 countriesYossi Harel-Fisch | Sophie D. Walsh | Haya Fogel-Grinvald | Gabriel Amitai | William Pickett | Michal Molcho | Pernille Due | Margarida Gaspar De Matos | Wendy Craig
Volume 34, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 639-652
Cross-national analyses explore the consistency of the relationship between negative school experiences and involvement in bullying across 40 European and North American countries, using the 2006 (40 countries n = 197,502) and 2002 (12 countries, n = 57,007) WHO-HBSC surveys. Measures include two Cumulative Negative School Perception (CNSP) scales, one based on 6 mandatory items (2006) and another including an additional 11 items (2002). Outcome measures included bullying perpetration, victimization and involvement as both bully and victim. Logistic regression analyses suggested that children with only 2-3 negative school perceptions, experience twice the relative odds of being involved in bullying as compared with children with no negative school perceptions. Odds Ratios (p < 0.001) increase in a graded fashion according to the CNSP, from about 2.2 to over 8.0. Similar consistent effects are found across gender and almost all countries. Further research should focus on the mechanisms and social context of these relationships. © 2010.
Internet use and video gaming predict problem behavior in early adolescencePeter Holtz | Markus Appel
Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 49-58
In early adolescence, the time spent using the Internet and video games is higher than in any other present-day age group. Due to age-inappropriate web and gaming content, the impact of new media use on teenagers is a matter of public and scientific concern. Based on current theories on inappropriate media use, a study was conducted that comprised 205 adolescents aged 10-14 years (Md = 13). Individuals were identified who showed clinically relevant problem behavior according to the problem scales of the Youth Self Report (YSR). Online gaming, communicational Internet use, and playing first-person shooters were predictive of externalizing behavior problems (aggression, delinquency). Playing online role-playing games was predictive of internalizing problem behavior (including withdrawal and anxiety). Parent-child communication about Internet activities was negatively related to problem behavior. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Focus on Methodology: Salivary bioscience and research on adolescence: An integrated perspectiveDouglas A. Granger | Christine K. Fortunato | Emilie K. Beltzer | Marta Virag | Melissa A. Bright | Dorothée Out
Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 1081-1095
The characterization of the salivary proteome and advances in biotechnology create an opportunity for developmental scientists to measure multi-level components of biological systems in oral fluids and identify relationships with developmental processes and behavioral and social forces. The implications for developmental science are profound because from a single oral fluid specimen, information can be obtained about a broad array of biological systems and the genetic polymorphisms related to their function. The purpose of this review is to provide a conceptual and tactical roadmap for investigators interested in integrating these measurement tools into research on adolescent health and development. © 2012 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Heteronormativity, school climates, and perceived safety for gender nonconforming peersRussell B. Toomey | Jenifer K. McGuire | Stephen T. Russell
Volume 35, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 187-196
Students' perceptions of their school climates are associated with psychosocial and academic adjustment. The present study examined the role of school strategies to promote safety in predicting students' perceptions of safety for gender nonconforming peers among 1415 students in 28 high schools. Using multilevel modeling techniques, we examined student- and school-level effects on students' perceptions of safety for gender nonconforming peers. We found that older students, bisexual youth, Latino youth, and youth who experienced school violence perceived their gender nonconforming male peers to be less safe. Similarly, we found that older students and students who experienced school violence and harassment due to gender nonconformity perceived their gender nonconforming female peers to be less safe. At the school-level, we found that when schools included lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues in the curriculum and had a Gay-Straight Alliance, students perceived their schools as safer for gender nonconforming male peers. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Specific coping behaviors in relation to adolescent depression and suicidal ideationAdam G. Horwitz | Ryan M. Hill | Cheryl A. King
Volume 34, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 1077-1085
The coping strategies used by adolescents to deal with stress may have implications for the development of depression and suicidal ideation. This study examined coping categories and specific coping behaviors used by adolescents to assess the relation of coping to depression and suicidal ideation. In hierarchical regression models, the specific coping behaviors of behavioral disengagement and self-blame were predictive of higher levels of depression; depression and using emotional support were predictive of suicidal ideation. Results suggest that specific behaviors within the broad coping categories of emotion-focused coping (e.g., self-blame) and avoidant coping (e.g., behavioral disengagement) account for these categories' associations with depression and suicidal ideation. Specific problem-focused coping strategies did not independently predict lower levels of depression or suicidal ideation. It may be beneficial for interventions to focus on eliminating maladaptive coping behaviors in addition to introducing or enhancing positive coping behaviors. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Prevalence and clinical correlates of deliberate self-harm among a community sample of Italian adolescentsR. Cerutti | M. Manca | F. Presaghi | Kim L. Gratz
Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 337-347
The aims of this study were to investigate the rates of deliberate self-harm (DSH) behavior among an Italian adolescent sample, as well as to explore its clinical correlates. On a sample of 234 adolescents in Italian secondary schools (Mean age = 16.47; SD = 1.7) were assessed the DSH as well as externalizing symptoms (including both conduct disorder [CD] and oppositional defiant disorder [ODD] symptoms), borderline personality disorder [BPD] symptoms, dissociative symptoms, and the incidence of life-stressors. Consistent with past research on DSH in youth, 42% of the adolescents in this sample engaged in DSH. Results indicate a positive association between DSH and all psychopathological correlates, including BPD, dissociative, and ODD and CD symptoms. Further, findings revealed an association between DSH and specific life-stressors (i.e., psychological and sexual abuse, natural disasters and serious accidents, the loss of someone important, and the witnessing of family violence or a serious accident). © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Do peers matter? A review of peer and/or friends' influence on physical activity among American adolescentsAmanda Fitzgerald | Noelle Fitzgerald | Cian Aherne
Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 941-958
This systematic review investigated the relationship between peer and/or friend variables and physical activity among adolescents by synthesising cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental research conducted in the US. Seven electronic databases were searched to identify related articles published within the last 10 years and the articles reviewed included adolescents between 10 and 18 years. Studies reporting a measure of physical activity for adolescents and at least one potential peer and/or friend variable were included. Research demonstrated that peers and friends have an important role to play in the physical activity behavior of adolescents. Six processes were identified through which peers and/or friends may have an influence on physical activity including: peer and/or friend support, presence of peers and friends, peer norms, friendship quality and acceptance, peer crowds, and peer victimization. The theoretical significance of these results is assessed and the development of peer-related physical activity programs for adolescents is discussed. © 2012 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Black hawk down?: Establishing helicopter parenting as a distinct construct from other forms of parental control during emerging adulthoodLaura M. Padilla-Walker | Larry J. Nelson
Volume 35, Issue 5, October 2012, Pages 1177-1190
The purpose of the current study was to establish a measure of helicopter parenting that was distinct from other forms of parental control, and to examine parental and behavioral correlates of helicopter parenting. Participants included 438 undergraduate students from four universities in the United States (Mage = 19.65, SD = 2.00, range = 18-29; 320 women, 118 men), and at least one of their parents. Analyses revealed that helicopter parenting loaded on a separate factor from both behavioral and psychological control, and that helicopter parenting was positively associated with behavioral and psychological control, but not at levels suggesting complete overlap. Results also revealed that helicopter parenting was positively associated with parental involvement and with other positive aspects of the parent-child relationship; but negatively associated with parental autonomy granting and school engagement. Discussion focuses on the implications of helicopter parenting for healthy development during emerging adulthood. © 2012 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Frequent users of pornography. A population based epidemiological study of Swedish male adolescentsCarl Göran Svedin | Ingrid Åkerman | Gisela Priebe
Volume 34, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 779-788
Frequent use of pornography has not been sufficiently studied before. In a Swedish survey 2015 male students aged 18 years participated. A group of frequent users of pornography (N = 200, 10.5%) were studied with respect to background and psychosocial correlates. The frequent users had a more positive attitude to pornography, were more often " turned on" viewing pornography and viewed more often advanced forms of pornography. Frequent use was also associated with many problem behaviours. A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that frequent users of pornography were more likely to be living in a large city, consuming alcohol more often, having greater sexual desire and had more often sold sex than other boys of the same age.High frequent viewing of pornography may be seen as a problematic behaviour that needs more attention from both parents and teachers and also to be addressed in clinical interviews. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Do parents and peers matter? A prospective socio-ecological examination of substance use and sexual risk among African American youthKatherine S. Elkington | José A. Bauermeister | Marc A. Zimmerman
Volume 34, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 1035-1047
We examined the direct contribution of parent and peer risk and promotive factors on youth condom use trajectories, in addition to the indirect influence of these factors via youth's substance use over four years in a sample of urban, African American youth (N= 679; 51% female; M= 14.86 years; SD = 0.65). Growth curve modeling was used to estimate changes in substance use and sexual risk across adolescence and test their association with parent and peer factors. Parent and peer risk factors were strongly associated with increasing substance use as youth aged. Substance use and condom use were interrelated. Parent and peer risk factors were indirectly associated with youth condom use; parent and peer promotive factors were directly associated with condom use, after accounting for substance use. Findings suggest the value of considering multiple influences on youth risk behavior. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Maternal and paternal parenting styles: Unique and combined links to adolescent and early adult delinquencyMachteld Hoeve | Judith Semon Dubas | Jan R M Gerris | Peter H. Van Der Laan | Wilma Smeenk
Volume 34, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 813-827
The present study examines the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between fathers' and mothers' parenting styles and male and female delinquency using a sample of 330 Dutch families with a mid or late adolescent son or daughter (ages 14-22), followed across two measurement waves with a 5-year interval. Parenting styles of fathers and mothers were linked to delinquency. A significant parenting style by sex interaction was found: neglectful parenting was related to higher levels of delinquency in males and permissive parenting was linked to delinquency in females. A long term relationship was found between fathers' neglectful parenting style and delinquency in males. Furthermore, results revealed that levels of delinquency were the lowest in families with at least one authoritative parent and highest in families with two neglectful parents, indicating that the level of delinquency was dependent on the combination of mother's and father's parenting styles. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
A multi-dimensional measure of vocational identity statusErik J. Porfeli | Bora Lee | Fred W. Vondracek | Ingrid K. Weigold
Volume 34, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 853-871
Establishing a worker identity is among the most central aspects of the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Despite its importance, few measures with acceptable psychometric and conceptual characteristics exist to assess vocational identity statuses. This study reports the development and evaluation of the Vocational Identity Status Assessment (VISA), which is derived from established conceptual models and includes career exploration, commitment, and reconsideration dimensions. Results show that the VISA exhibited metric invariance across a high school and university sample. Cluster analyses demonstrated that the VISA consistently resolved six identity statuses across the two samples, supporting the previously established achieved, moratorium, foreclosed, and diffused statuses along with two additional statuses termed searching moratorium and undifferentiated. The identity statuses predicted differences in participants' work valences and well-being with the achieved and diffused statuses respectively exhibiting the most and least favorable characteristics. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research based upon these findings are offered. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Perceived parental psychological control and adolescent depressive experiences: A cross-cultural study with Belgian and South-Korean adolescentsBart Soenens | Seong Yeon Park | Maarten Vansteenkiste | Athanasios Mouratidis
Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 261-272
In recent research on psychologically controlling parenting, debate has arisen about the cross-cultural relevance of this construct, with some scholars arguing that the developmental outcomes of psychological control are culture-bound and others arguing that the detrimental effects of psychological control generalize across cultures. This study aimed to add to this debate by examining the relevance of a distinction between two domain-specific expressions of psychological control (i.e., dependency-oriented and achievement-oriented) in Belgian (N = 290) and South-Korean (N = 321) adolescents. Multi-group path analyses showed that associations between the domains of psychological control, depressive personality, and depressive symptoms were similar between the two samples. Overall, the findings are in line with the notion that the effects of psychological control generalize across culture. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
A longitudinal examination of adolescent career planning and exploration using a social cognitive career theory frameworkMary E. Rogers | Peter A. Creed
Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 163-172
This study used social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994), as a framework to investigate predictors of career choice actions, operationalised as career planning and career exploration. The model was tested cross-sectionally and longitudinally with 631 high school students enrolled in Grades 10-12. Students completed measures of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goals, supports and personality. Results of the hierarchical regression analyses indicated strong support for self-efficacy and goals predicting career planning and exploration across all grades at T1, and predicting change in career planning and exploration from T1 to T2. Whilst support for pathways among other predictor variables (personality, contextual influences and biographic variables) to choice actions was found, these pathways varied across grades at T1, and also from T1 to T2. Implications for social cognitive career theory, career counselling practice and future research are discussed. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Estimating peer effects in sexual behavior among adolescentsMir M. Ali | Debra S. Dwyer
Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 183-190
In this paper we seek to empirically quantify the role of peer social networks in influencing sexual behavior among adolescents. Using data of a nationally representative sample of adolescents we utilize a multivariate structural model with school-level fixed effects to account for the problems of contextual effects, correlated effects and peer selections to purge the potential biases from the estimates of peer influence. Our peer group measures are drawn not only from the nomination of close friends, but also from classmates. Controlling for parent level characteristics, and other demographic parameters, we find that a 10% increase in the proportion of close friends who initiates sex increases the probability that an individual chooses to initiate sex by 5% and a 10% increase in number of sexual partners among close friends increases an individual's sexual partner by 5%. The influence of classmates however, diminishes in magnitude after accounting for unobserved environmental confounders. © 2009 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
High school dropouts: Interactions between social context, self-perceptions, school engagement, and student dropoutAnna Mária Fall | Greg Roberts
Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 787-798
Research suggests that contextual, self-system, and school engagement variables influence dropping out from school. However, it is not clear how different types of contextual and self-system variables interact to affect students' engagement or contribute to decisions to dropout from high school. The self-system model of motivational development represents a promising theory for understanding this complex phenomenon. The self-system model acknowledges the interactive and iterative roles of social context, self-perceptions, school engagement, and academic achievement as antecedents to the decision to dropout of school. We analyzed data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002-2004 in the context of the self-system model, finding that perception of social context (teacher support and parent support) predicts students' self-perceptions (perception of control and identification with school), which in turn predict students' academic and behavioral engagement, and academic achievement. Further, students' academic and behavioral engagement and achievement in 10th grade were associated with decreased likelihood of dropping out of school in 12th grade. © 2011.
Adolescent substance use, sleep, and academic achievement: Evidence of harm due to caffeineJack E. James | Álfgeir Logi Kristjánsson | Inga Dóra Sigfúsdóttir
Volume 34, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 665-673
Using academic achievement as the key outcome variable, 7377 Icelandic adolescents were surveyed for cigarette smoking, alcohol use, daytime sleepiness, caffeine use, and potential confounders. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine direct and indirect effects of measured and latent variables in two models: the first with caffeine excluded and the second with caffeine included. A substantial proportion of variance in academic achievement, which might otherwise have been attributed to the harmful effects of cigarette smoking and alcohol use, was found to be attributable to caffeine. Evidence was obtained that daytime sleepiness, which was found to be independently associated with usage of licit substances (nicotine and alcohol) and caffeine, may be an important mediator of the negative impact of those substances on academic achievement. Findings suggest the importance of including measurements of caffeine consumption in future studies of adolescent substance use. © 2010 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Selective neurocognitive impairments in adolescents with major depressive disorderGeorges Han | Bonnie Klimes-Dougan | Susie Jepsen | Kristin Ballard | Megan Nelson | Alaa Houri | Sanjiv Kumra | Kathryn Cullen
Volume 35, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 11-20
This study investigated whether major depression in adolescence is characterized by neurocognitive deficits in attention, affective decision making, and cognitive control of emotion processing. Neuropsychological tests including the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence, the Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs, the Attention Network Test, the Iowa Gambling Task, the Emotional Go-NoGo Task, and the Face Go-NoGo Task were administered to adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (n=31) and psychiatric diagnosis free controls (n=30). Findings indicated that compared with controls, depressed adolescents exhibited impaired sustained attention; a gender by group interaction on affective decision making such that depressed males tended to make less advantageous choices on the IGT; and an inverse pattern of correlations between depressive symptom counts and reaction time to affective stimuli, characterizing greater affective reactivity in depressed adolescents. Findings demonstrate that adolescents with MDD display selective neurocognitive impairments on tasks capturing 'cool' and 'hot' executive functioning. © 2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
The influence of family relations on trajectories of cigarette and alcohol use from early to late adolescenceLeslie Morrison Gutman | Jacquelynne S. Eccles | Stephen Peck | Oksana Malanchuk
Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 119-128
The present study examines growth curve trajectories of cigarette and alcohol use from 13 to 19 years, and investigates how family relations (i.e., decision-making opportunities, negative family interactions, and positive identification with parents) relate to contemporaneous and predictive alcohol and cigarette use during adolescence. Data came from a longitudinal study of European American and African American families from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds (n = 1160 for alcohol use; n = 1102 for cigarette use). European Americans had higher levels and faster rates of alcohol and cigarette use than African Americans. European Americans females had the greatest likelihood of increased cigarette use. Negative family interactions and positive identification had contemporaneous and predictive associations with alcohol and/or cigarette use. Negative family interactions were related to increased smoking and drinking, whereas positive identification was associated with decreased use. Family relations differentially affected cigarette use according to ethnicity and gender, but had similar effects on alcohol use. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
Individual, familial, friends-related and contextual predictors of early sexual intercourseMarie Aude Boislard P. | François Poulin
Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 289-300
This study examined the unique and simultaneous contribution of adolescents' characteristics, parent-child relationship and friends' characteristics on early sexual intercourse, while accounting for family status. A longitudinal multi-sample design was used. The first sample was recruited in a suburban context (n = 265; 62% girls) and the second sample in an urban setting (n = 136; 61% girls). All predictors were measured in Grade 8 and age at first intercourse was assessed yearly for three years. Being in a non-intact family, low parental control, high antisocial behaviors, low self-disclosure, high proportion of other-sex friends and high substance use were associated with earlier sexual intercourse. When all predictors were considered simultaneously, more antisocial behaviors, high proportion of other-sex friends and non-intact family structure significantly discriminated youth reporting first intercourse at age 13 or less from those who reported first intercourse at age 14, at age 15, or were virgins at age 16 among both samples. © 2010 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - An evangelical group that wants to reshape the movement's political reputation for being focused on opposing abortion and same-sex marriage is hoping that a series of meetings stressing its roots in women's suffrage and abolition will help it break out of the mold.
On the Net:
Sojourners/Call To Renewal: www.sojo.net
The stated goal of the first three-day "justice revival," one of several to be held around the country, is to tackle poverty in the city through a collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
But the broader idea is to energize the relatively small liberal end of the evangelical spectrum by linking religious faith with social action as earlier American social movements did, its planners say. Among the areas to be explored by participants are access to health care, immigration, global warming and the war in Iraq.
"I have been very deeply moved by the history of these great awakenings in our national life, where there was a revival of faith that led to big change in our society," said Jim Wallis, CEO of Sojourners/Call to Renewal.
The Washington, D.C.-based group will hold the event April 16-18 in Columbus, with 30 of the city's largest evangelical churches, representing 10,000 Christians.
"A whole generation of young evangelicals believes that Jesus would probably care more about the 30,000 children who died again today - as they did yesterday and they will tomorrow - from preventable disease than he would about passing a gay-marriage amendment in Ohio," Wallis said.
The group's leaders seek to reverse the public perception that all evangelicals are conservative Republicans whose top social priorities are opposing abortion and gay marriage.
White evangelicals comprise about one-third of the Republican Party.
"Our message is evangelicals aren't going to be in the pocket of any party anymore, and they're going to evaluate all candidates by their own moral compass," Wallis said. "This revival is entirely nonpartisan.
"It's about faith and it's about issues, it's not about Barack (Obama) and Hillary (Rodham Clinton) and John McCain," he said, referring to the contenders for Democrats' presidential nomination and the Republicans' presumptive nominee.
Sojourners/Call to Renewal has been trying for years to make its voice heard.
But it has been boosted recently by growing recognition within the Democratic Party of the importance of faith. In January, former President Jimmy Carter led a meeting of thousands of Baptists, including Southern Baptists who had distanced themselves from their conservative denomination, who pledged to work together on social justice, as well as faith concerns.
"We can disagree on the death penalty, we can disagree on homosexuality, we can disagree on the status of women and still bind our hearts together in a common, united, generous, friendly, loving commitment," Carter said.
Recent surveys have found that younger evangelicals are less tied to the GOP than their parents have been, even while remaining deeply opposed to abortion. They are especially concerned about environmental protection, leading many conservative Christians to reassess their views on the issue. A group of Southern Baptist leaders issued a statement March 10 saying the denomination had been "too timid" on environmental issues and has a biblical duty to stop global warming.
Wallis' detractors say he is trying to steer religious conservatives to the Democratic Party - launching the effort in Columbus, the capital of a state that swung the presidency to George Bush in 2004 by a just 2 percent margin. Bush's Ohio victory was attributed largely to turnout among religious conservatives mobilized by a proposed gay marriage ban that appeared on that year's ballot.
"I think this is part of a concerted effort to try to reach out to the values voters and take them away from the pro-life candidates," said Denise Mackura, executive director of the Chicago-based Thomas More Society public interest law firm, which opposes abortion. "It's an effort to say ... go ahead and vote for Barack or whoever because there are these other issues, to convince people not to base their vote on the right-to-life issue."
But Wallis and other activists say many Christians don't need persuading.
"Lots of people feel that the evangelical label has been taken captive by a very narrow political program," said the Rev. Rich Nathan, senior pastor at The Vineyard Church of Columbus, which is hosting the revival. "Folks don't feel that that represents them. Many of the so-called evangelical leaders are saying, we didn't elect these people, they don't represent us. How did they become our spokespeople? How did this narrow agenda become our agenda?"
Besides Wallis, other evangelical leaders, including Marsha Ford, have begun to tout a more bipartisan political view, said Warren Smith, editor and publisher of the Evangelical Press News and other Christian news publications.

Believe it or not, I never went on a real vacation until I married Bill just under 4 years ago. I grew up in Miami and both of my parent's famies lived in Alabama so vacation was always to put us 3 kids in the car late at night and drive 13 hours straight through the night so we'd sleep almost until we got there. Then we visited the grandparents and went home. Never any other kind of vacation.
When I was married before it was just to visit families so my first real vacation was with Bill except for one trip he and I made to Boston in 1970 to visit his grandmother, but we still saw stuff.
My mother has never been on a real vacation on her life and doesn't want to go and neither of my brothers has ever been on a vacation. They run their own business and time away has never been a possibility.
Grandparents - they were farmers so I doubt they went anywhere. Mom grew up without even a family car.
Travelling is very new to me and I'm loving every minute of it. We are fortunate to have military flight benefits and are able to find inexpensive cruises!
Actually (and this may sound strange) I'm now that it was that way becuase ever where I go with my husband is new to me - I'm discovering the world with him. Now I wouldn't have it any other way - I'm glad I'm seeing all these places for the first time with him.

According to Wikipedia, so it must be true, when Wandy Rodriguez was scouted by the Houston Astros in 1998, he falsely stated his name was Eny Cabreja. I can buy a fan of the Astros wanting a fake identity these days but I'm surprised a player would do it. But apparently, Wandy wanted to appear younger, so he convinced the real Eny (two years younger) to let him borrow his identity and lived under the name Eny Cabreja until 2002, when he admitted he was really 23-year-old Wandy Rodriguez, not the 21-year-old Eny...

Confirmed: Jon Favreau won't return for 'Iron Man 3'
Jon Favreau, who's recently been making making the rounds with his work in progress, the stand-alone sci-fi-in-a-western "Cowboys and Aliens" has informed Marvel Studios/Disney that he won't be back to direct a third installment of "Iron Man." Vulture reports that insiders say Favreau has been frustrated with the direction that marvel wanted to go for the film, insisting that it tie in with other Marvel titles such as "Thor" "The Incredible Hulk" and "The Avengers." The Director told MTV News recently that the production company's concepts of the film version of the Marvel Universe were not very clear to him, saying "This whole world… I have no idea what it is. I don't think they do either.."
Still others speculate that Favreau's growing price tag may have been the cause for the split, and that Disney/Marvel was looking to contain their costs and wouldn't mind a less expensive director at the helm. Star Robert Downey Jr. Does have Director approval, however, and may complicate things. As of now the project is slated to go ahead no matter who's directing and hit theaters on May 3rd of 2013, necessitating a shooting start date of early 2012 if not before.
Favreau confirmed this news thought his twitter account (@Jon_Favreau) saying "It's true, I'm directing Magic Kingdom, not Iron Man 3. I've had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best." Meaning that he's definitely not breaking up with Disney any time soon, as "Magic Kingdom," is a Disney movie that takes place in Disneyland.
If I had to speculate, I'd say that the experience of directing "Cowboys and Aliens" with the freedom of having creative and protective powerhouses like Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg may be something Favreau is enjoying enough to not like the idea of returning to a situation with shackles that were already starting to chafe.
"Iron Man 3" flies into theaters one way or another on May 3rd of 2013

2005 Cadillac SRX Rwd 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
This car is fun to drive, great power, comfortable and always broken. Every two weeks this car must go in for a major repair (under warranty, thank goodness). Engine (oil leaks and consumption), tranny (went out twice in 2 weeks, factory replacements are terrible, second time they had a local shop rebuild it right), power steering, A/C 4x, drive shafts front and rear, rear differential, sun roof motor (still has intermittent problems), drivers seat and controls, paint (twice), weather striping (doors and sun roof), radio with control display, CD player, interior lights and switches. I'm probably forgetting some stuff but I hope you get my point.
I really love the sun roof it opens up the entire cabin, unfortunately it doesn't always close.
Quality, this car is a perfect example why Detroit has such a hard time selling cars, NO QUALITY. I traded a Toyota with 250k thinking it was due to fall apart. I really wish I had it back.
My previous car fell apart @ 530,00 miles. After tons of research, I found my SRX & fell in love with the price & the great condition for being used. 36 days into owning it, on a weekend trip, it made some funny noises. We pulled over a lot, but other than the check emissions light, nothing appeared to be wrong. The next morning, I started it up & the engine sounded HORRIBLE! We checked the oil & there WASN'T ANY! We put nearly 6qts of oil in it and took it to the dealer the next day. There wasn't any sign of a leak & the dealer said it hadn't used oil either. It's purred like a kitten ever since & no more oil loss. Has anyone had this happen to them or explain what might have happened?
I love the comfortable ride and how secure and safe I feel while driving it.
Sturdier dash components such as the AC knobs and painted plastic covers.
Drove about 5 used SRX's before I selected this one. They all drive differently - mainly suspension. I particularly love the smoothness of acceleration and braking. Had wood steering wheel and console... added wood kit from dealer. Previously had a Mercury Mountaineer. Like the increased gas mileage - averaging 18.9 in mixed driving per the computer.
Cornering ability. Overall smoothness. Acceleration. Prestige factor. XM Satellite radio.
Rear visibility is awful! Turning radius is also worse than my previous SUV. Shocks can be defective and make loud noises. Had them replaced under certified warranty.
Have only owned this vehicle for 1 week! Got a certified 100,000 mile one with 40K miles. Turns heads. I am currently getting in mixed highway and street travel 20.8 miles per gallon. Very please compared to that of most SUV's. Handles very well when pushed too. Otherwise it is a very smooth highway cruiser. Nice alternative to my old SUV!
Better than advertised gas mileage. 8 way power seat adjustments. Excellent stereo and speaker placement. Many electronic adjustments and convenience settings. Fairly unique design - not many on the roads. Added the Vogue wood interior kit - wow what a difference to dashboard! Step in/out height.
Rear seat headrests block rear vision. V6 engine noise is somewhat unsettling but hard to hear when windows closed. Gated transmission shift is not precise and should be more solid.
Fine all purpose SUV type car. Good on the road and in town. Best styled of all SUVs. So many of the others look alike - the SRX is the only SUV people comment favorably the design. Have taken it around Montana in the summer and Texas in the winter.
Interior and exterior design. Good engine. Nice informational computer.

Comments: Previous pants were Bauer One80's. The Bauers had way too much protection and height around the kidney and spine area. Bought these after my son got a pair and loved them. These are close to a pound lighter than the Bauers, offer better mobility, don't ride up too high around the sides and back and appear to be well constructed. I especially like the flexible spine protection. Great pair of pants and would definitely recommend them.
From: Dave, Chicago, IL
Comments: Great solid one with sick looks! I like these better and it looks better made than the bauer nexus 600. Still need some time to break in especially at the thigh pads. Pants are short in the legs just like all ccm pants, im 5'5 and ordered size M which fits people 5'7" - 5'10", but the pants are just above my knee caps. Very losse at the legs, if you like the traditional fit, it's definitely for you!
From: Kimmy
Comments: Love these pants. Snug fit in the waist with really solid protection. They are a little on the shorter side, so if you are a bigger shorter guy, these are the pants for you. More traditional fit. The leg zippers seem a little cheap, but the materials are overall well made. Very little time to break in. Great pant at the price for mid-level players.
From: Andrew
Comments: These pants are very durable. Worn for a season (two times a week) and there are no signs of wear to the nylon shelling or any fraying in the seams. They have a very light feel and the design around the legs definitely gives more mobility than other pants. The appearance is very clean with an embroidered logo on the leg cuff which definitely looks more high end. Would recommend to any level player.
From: Charlie, Stamford, CT USA

The Thunder are still two and a half games behind the Spurs in the standings, but they're favorites to make the Finals again, regardless of whether Tony Parker's injury allows them to slide into the no. 1 spot — where there's about a 50-50 chance they'd meet the Lakers in the first round. Oklahoma City deserves the favorite's perch in part because it appears it has figured out some very basic things that work against key opponents, including San Antonio and the Lakers.

She's cute, she's sweet, she's definitely sassy, she's climbing the charts
Alexa in less than 6 weeks on the radio and in the clubs has moved up the independent charts to #1 with her debut single "Cause We Feel Like It"
(New York, February, 2013)
She's cute, she's sweet, she's definitely sassy and she's climbing the charts it 'cause she feels like it...…
ALEXA for the past 6 weeks has been bringing it to the radio, your IPod and a dance floor near you with her debut single "CAUSE WE FEEL LIKE IT", (available March 5, 2013 on iTunes) and has been steadily climbing the charts currently holding the #1 position on the Indie charts and #17 on the global charts.
"Cause We Feel Like It", was considered ALEXA's rebel yell, for her summer before starting college and her leap into the music industry. "Cause We Feel Like It" is full of energy, a feel good vibe and guaranteed to bring the fun (the song features out of the box radio, electro house, dance electronica & dub step variations).

Letters to the Editor
Regarding Phil Hughes' article in the December issue of LJ, please help push further development of Arena. Netscape is huge, slow, and our only option. I now use Lynx for almost all my browsing because Netscape is so slow on my system. Arena runs well, but cannot handle forms, one of the most functional features of a web browser. Like many people, I am not interested in background patterns and enhanced fonts. I want easy access to information, which I am unable to get with Netscape or the current Arena.
—Peter McArthur email@example.com
Linux Journal has a sister publication called WEBsmith™, and its editor, Jon Gross, was recently involved in a World Wide Web conference. We asked him to respond:
I (and many others) agree with your summation of the status of the browser selection available at this point. In December, I was at the 4th International World Wide Web conference in Boston, and a group of us started talking, and decided it was time to start a Free Browser project, modeled on the Linux community, to address exactly this problem. We are putting a mildly cohesive framework together before "going public" but your input is certainly appreciated. The Linux community has much to offer this project, and I think we can definitely build a better mousetrap. A mailing list has been set up. See www.base.com/gordoni/web/www4-bof.html for more information.
—Websmith Magazine Editor, Jonathan Gross
"The chmod Command" by Eric Goebelbecker (LJ #21) was an excellent introduction to the sometimes counterintuitive file and directory permissions of Unix-like operating systems. Near the end, however, there is a misstatement concerning the "sticky bit". This bit actually has a very important, though obscure, use on Linux systems.
The sticky bit got its name on early Unix systems in the days before demand-paged virtual memory. If the sticky bit of an executable file was set, after the program exited a copy of its text segment was saved in the system's swap area, i.e., it would "stick around" for the next use. This feature was used to make frequently-run programs load a little bit faster. This meaning of the sticky bit is no longer particularly relevant.
Although it is not a part of the POSIX specification, recent System V and Berkeley Unix systems defined a new meaning for the sticky bit. If a directory's sticky bit is set, a file in the directory may be deleted only by the file's owner, by the directory's owner, or by root. This provides an additional measure of security for directories such as /tmp. Linux, of course, supports this useful feature. For example, on my system:
$ ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Jan 1 09:49 /tmp $ ls -l /tmp -rw------- 1 roman users 0 Jan 1 09:49 bar -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 09:47 foo $ rm /tmp/bar $ rm /tmp/foo rm: /tmp/foo: Operation not permitted
Without the sticky bit, I would have been able to remove root's file from /tmp.

Mea Culpa. Thank you for pointing out that mistake. It should never have passed through editing.
I read your article on LISP-Stat last August with much interest, and have just got around to trying it out. One inconsistency: the article claims that the "dld" library is essential. This is not true; if you build Lisp-Stat from scratch, it will use the now-standard "dlopen" method for dynamic loading (based on the ld.so library) if it is present. In fact, "dld" no longer seems to work with current "a.out" style static libraries, let alone ELF libraries.
I compiled the thing for ELF using gcc 2.7.0 and everything worked just great. The compile time is rather long (about an hour on a 486-33 with 20M memory), especially since a lot of the code is in LISP. All of the book examples worked perfectly. A marvellous way to review long-forgotten stats material.
You are doing an excellent job at presenting intriguing applications for Linux. Please keep up the great work!

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Salvaging a Part of the Childhood He Lost, Julio Leitão Finds a Home in the Hearts of Harlem's Children
CONGA DRUMS KICK UP A BEAT AS a couple of dozen children in grass skirts and face paint work themselves into a state of exhaustion—and exhilaration—in the auditorium of a Harlem junior high school. It's a typically high-spirited rehearsal of the Batoto Yetu children's dance company, and as the group's founder, Julio Leitão, a 30-year-old African émigré, shouts instructions and praise—"bend your legs...stretch your arms...put a smile on your body"—his young charges happily comply. "Julio screams a lot," says Gabrielle Wilson, 9. "He's louder than 500 whistles."
Leitão is shrill for the thrill of it. Since founding Batoto Yetu ("our children" in Swahili) in 1990, he has taught more than 500 schoolkids many of the African ritual dances he learned from his mother, a member of Zaire's Luba tribe. "I feel the responsibility to pass on the songs and dances she taught me," Leitão says as he watches his current troupe, who range in age from 3 to 17, prepare for a benefit performance at New York City's Lincoln Center. "We're helping children discover who they are."
"Julio is teaching these kids to be proud of their heritage," says singer Roberta Flack, who, along with Brooke Shields, Danny Glover and director Jonathan Demme, serves on Batoto Yetu's 20-member advisory council. "They are learning a sense of creativity and discipline that will serve them well later in life." Drawn from predominately poor neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Leitão's students find sanctuary in his makeshift dance studio in Harlem's Graham Windham intermediate school. There, volunteer tutors help dancers with their schoolwork. "Harlem isn't much different, from Third World countries where children don't get the best education," says Leitão, who won't allow failing students to perform. "So we have to educate ourselves."
"It's like a family here," says Cathy Mack, three of whose children dance with the troupe. "Julio helped with their confidence and self-esteem." Adds her daughter Shoné, 15: "Julio tells us stories from his past. It makes you want to learn more."
The program also gives Leitão a chance, he says, "to live the childhood that was taken from me." Raised in Angola, he fled to a Zambian refugee camp with his mother, a store owner, and six of his eight siblings during a 1975 civil war in which his father, a government worker, was killed. A year later the surviving family joined other African refugees in Portugal, where they were temporarily housed in an abandoned jail. "We created our own Africa in Portugal," Leitão says. "Whenever we went to sleep, my mother sang. In my dreams I walked through my father's garden and smelled the lemon grass. That's the way you survive when you don't have a home—your dreams, and the music and dance, keep you going."
By age 17, Leitão was an enthusiastic student of western classical dance as well, and after studying ballet at a Lisbon dance conservatory, he moved to New York City in 1985. While performing with ballet companies in Princeton, N.J., and New York's Long Island, he began teaching African dance at Harlem's National Black Theatre. During the time he was giving free lessons to kids in a local playground, Leitão formed his first Batoto Yetu troupe. "I discovered that's where my talent was," he says. "Teaching is learning for me."
Although Batoto Yetu is now funded by federal grants and gifts, money remains short. Leitão is often found in his Manhattan apartment cum office sewing costumes and dreaming of establishing a village for war-refugee children in Angola. "This is just a rehearsal in New York," he says. "Wait until you see our world premiere."

If anyone was wondering... here's a link to an article that talks about that. It's interesting that Microsoft had a hand in the research.
I read yesterday that Ad supported Apps use up to 60% more battery due to poorly written ad engines.
Angry Birds was one of the apps they tested.
While playing a level of Angry Birds, 70 percent of the battery drain was as a result of the game uploading user data in the background, such as location information) and the downloading and displaying of ads to the user.
