text: Aug 21, 2014 13:32 Takeaways pay off for Saints in win over Titans Takeaways pay off for Saints in win over Titans Saints score 17 points off five turnovers in win over Titans BY RAMON ANTONIO VARGAS| firstname.lastname@example.com Aug. 21, 2014 Comments The Saints' 31-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Friday night could hardly have packed more of the horrors commonly seen in mid-August NFL preseason action for New Orleans. An apparent leg injury forced the second-quarter exit of the Saints' Keenan Lewis, the only cornerback on the roster entrenched as a starter at that position. There were 22 accepted penalties against the Saints for a mind-numbing 184 lost yards — 14 of those calls and 116 of those yards in the first half, when a significant number of starters — especially on defense — were in. Nonetheless, the Saints managed something in which they might find a measure of comfort: five total takeaways resulting in 17 points. Those are the kind of plays their defense has prioritized all offseason, plays it could've used in a 2013 campaign that ended at Seattle in the divisional round of the playoffs, two wins shy of a Super Bowl appearance. "That's something we emphasized — to get five turnovers is big," said Saints safety Rafael Bush, who snatched up a fumble. "But at the same time, we still got to make sure we can tone down these penalties, and we're going to work on that as soon as we get back (to practice)." All throughout offseason practices and training camp, any time the pigskin hits the ground, whether because of a strip or an incomplete pass, Saints coaches and players have pointed at it shouting, "Ball! Ball! Ball!" The closest player must either secure it or endure the wrath of his peers and bosses, who want the Saints to accumulate many more than 2013's 19 turnovers, the fourth-fewest in the NFL. The Saints were disappointed when they didn't create any at their preseason debut, a 26-24 win at St. Louis on Aug. 8. But then, trailing Tennessee 10-7 with 5:37 to go in the first half, New Orleans broke the seal, thanks to last year's most impressive Saints rookie, Kenny Vaccaro. Vaccaro stripped Titans running back Shonn Greene at the Tennessee 35. Bush recovered, and Greene left hurt. Three plays later, Saints quarterback Luke McCown threw his second of two touchdown passes to tight end Jimmy Graham to put New Orleans ahead 14-10. That post-takeaway drive had a vastly better outcome than the two previous ones the Saints had put together, moving just 35 yards and punting twice. The hope for a Saints defense that otherwise was brilliant in its first campaign under coordinator Rob Ryan last year (holding opponents to the fourth-fewest yards and points in the NFL) is that one takeaway opens the floodgates for more on any given day. And on Friday it did. On the seven Titans drives that followed Bush's recovery of Vaccaro's strip, four concluded in Saints takeaways. Three of those were recovered fumbles, validating the Saints' emphasis on scooping up the "ball! ball! ball!" at practice. There was Saints defensive end Cam Jordan stripping Titans backup and former LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger on a sack at the New Orleans 38. Jordan's linemate Akiem Hicks pounced on it for the recovery with fewer than 40 seconds to go in the first half. The Saints didn't score, but they preserved a 21-17 lead. After running out the first half and punting on their first drive of the third quarter, the Titans' next three advances ended in turnovers. Rookie Saints cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste recovered a Derek Hagan fumble. Mettenberger then tossed an interception to ex-Alabama and rookie Saints safety Vinnie Sunseri on the first play that the Titans got the ball back via a New Orleans punt. That set up a 34-yard Shayne Graham field goal that gave New Orleans a 24-17 lead with 11:46 to go in the game. And, lastly, on the second play of their next drive, reserve nose tackle Brandon Deaderick fell atop a botched handoff to Titans running back Bishop Sankey at Tennessee's 30. That eventually led to a 3-yard touchdown pass from backup Saints quarterback Ryan Griffin to bubble rookie receiver Seantavius Jones that gave New Orleans a 31-17 lead with 8:54 to go, which Tennessee wouldn't cut into until there were 10 seconds left. It limited Tennessee to a paltry three plays and 5 yards on the drives that concluded with Deaderick's and Sunseri's takeaways. As always, the usual caveats about making too much ado about a preseason performance apply. But, with maybe the exception of bubble player Deaderick, it's safe to assume the Saints are going to want to count on all of the players involved with Friday's takeaways — either this year (Vaccaro, Bush, Jordan, Hicks) or not too long afterward (Sunseri, a fifth-round draft pick; or Jean-Baptiste, chosen in the second round). A defense that last season took the ball away just four times during its final 11 games shouldn't turn up its nose at an outing like Friday, no matter what time of the year it is. But they weren't about to admit to that, not moments after the game ended. "Here's a number for you: five takeaways, ... we're at the nine-minute mark in the fourth quarter, we're up seven," Saints coach Sean Payton said in a disgusted tone while discussing the penalties. "Listen, we'll say, 'Hey, when we get to the regular season, it'll clean itself up.' But, hey, that's silliness. That's crazy." Hicks added, "All the takeaways that we get aren't going to do anything for us if we can't stop ourselves from putting ourselves in bad positions."

In the video above, West makes mention of a video game he's been working on for the last six months based on his single with Paul McCartney, "Only One." The game is to be about West's late mother, Donda, "going through the gates of heaven," whom you help to ascend "by holding her to the light."
If it's anything like his wife's game, it's sure to be a hit.
Super Mario RPG - Forest Maze
GRRM's initial pitch for Game of Thrones has been unearthed, and in it he invisions a very different story of Westeros. It's worth noting that the story was originally to be a trilogy, during which three conflicts would occur: the Starks challenging the Lannisters, a Dothraki invasion led by Daenerys, and the Night's Watch battling with the Others. Martin has clearly strayed from this outline, as we're now awaiting book six, so hopefully many of the things he details in this letter don't come to pass. Warning: if you're afraid of potential spoilers or some real weird feelings about what could have been, quit reading now.
According to the letter, five characters were always supposed to live: Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark, Bran Stark, and Jon Snow. But what was supposed to happen to them was vastly different. In this early version, Ned Stark dies as he did in the version we know, but helps Arya and Catelyn escape to Winterfell before Joffrey kills him. From there, the two women and the crippled Bran travel to the wall seeking refuge with Jon and Benjen, where ARYA FALLS IN LOVE WITH JON. Their romantic tension was meant to be central to the story, and would have tormented them both "until the secret of Jon's true parentage is finally revealed in the last book." The Night's Watch refuses help to the Starks, so they head farther North and encounter Mance Rayder and the Others. All but Catelyn were to have survived these enounters by way of Arya's sword and Bran's magic, but what happens to them afterwards is not included. Meanwhile, Daenerys was to have revenge-murdered Khal Drogo for her brother, and accidentally stumbled upon the dragon eggs which she uses to "bend the Dothraki to her will" and invade the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion murders Joffrey, only to see him replaced by Jaime. Somehow, Tyrion would have ended up exiled and on the side of the Starks, where he too would have fallen in love with Arya. Apparently, she would have not reciprocated his feelings, but that wouldn't have stopped a "deadly rivalry" between Tyrion and Jon.
The final paragraph of Martin's letter is redacted, presumably because it's dark and/or full of spoilers. You can see all but that last paragraph here if you want to read it for yourself. If you want to see it IRL, you can find it at the HarperCollins office in London.
Before you cry "right in the childhood!," it wasn't that red ranger; Ricardo Medina Jr. played the red power ranger Cole Evans in Power Rangers Wild Force and Deker in Power Rangers Samurai. According to police, Medina was involved in an argument with his roommate, Joshua Sutter, that ended in a fatal stabbing. Medina had retreated to his bedroom when Sutter forced Medina's door open and Medina stabbed him with the sword he keeps next to his bed.
Medina has been booked facing murder charges and is being held on a $1 million bail.
A 9 year old Texas boy was suspnded from elementary school after he brought a replica of the One Ring from Lord of the Rings to school. The boy reportedly "threatened" a classmate, saying he could make his fellow student disappear with the ring, so he was suspended from school. I kid you not, actually suspended.
This isn't the first time Aiden Stewart has faced disciplinary action this school year, either; his other suspensions have been for "referring to a classmate as black and bringing his favorite book to school: 'The Big Book of Knowledge.'" Apparently, the book contained an illustration of a pregnant woman, an offense so vile it resulted in an in-school suspension for Aiden.
Be careful out there amongst the normies, nerds. As mainstream as scifi/fantasy has become, they apparently still don't get the concept of make-believe.

Working with Massachusetts-based Waters Corporation, Nestlé wants to overcome a problem where, "nutrients in biological samples lack sensitivity, are slow and can only measure a limited number of molecules at once."
NIHS said it would work toward vitamin-based solutions by using Waters' methods and its own, "expertise in nutrients and micronutrients" to monitor efficaciousness of fortified foods and medical foods given to patients.
"In the future, these tools will help us to better define the specific nutrient needs of people with different diets and lifestyles around the world, measure their biological response to nutrition, and meet the nutritional requirements of every patient or consumer," said NIHS researcher Serge Rezzi.

Warm, light and windproof
This jacket is shorter than I would have liked but the warmth is worth it. I'm 5'4" and it goes to my waist. When the description says it's windproof, it really is. I wore this in Boston when it was 28 degrees F with a thin baselayer. I was really surprised that this was all I needed in such cold and windy weather. It's stiff at first but when you wash it, it's not as stiff.

Article: Child Exposure to Serious Life Events, COMT, and Aggression: Testing Differential Susceptibility Theory.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in aggression. Catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met (COMT), a common, functional polymorphism, has been implicated in aggression and aggression traits, as have childhood experiences of adversity. It is unknown whether these effects are additive or interactional and, in the case of interaction, whether they conform to a diathesis-stress or differential susceptibility model. We examined Gene × Environment interactions between COMT and serious life events on measures of childhood aggression and contrasted these 2 models. The sample was composed of community children (N = 704); 355 were boys, and the mean age was 54.8 months (SD = 3.0). The children were genotyped for COMT rs4680 and assessed for serious life events and by teacher-rated aggression. Regression analysis showed no main effects of COMT and serious life events on aggression. However, a significant interactive effect of childhood serious life events and COMT genotype was observed: Children who had faced many serious life events and were Val homozygotes exhibited more aggression (p = .02) than did their Met-carrying counterparts. Notably, in the absence of serious life events, Val homozygotes displayed significantly lower aggression scores than did Met carriers (p = .03). When tested, this constellation of findings conformed to the differential susceptibility hypothesis: In this case, Val homozygotes are more malleable to the effect of serious life events on aggression and not simply more vulnerable to the negative effect of having experienced many serious life events.

ABSTRACT: Objectives To examine appetite traits, level of physical activity, and television (TV) time as predictors of change in Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score (BMI SDS) from age 6 to 8 and to explore the effect of BMI SDS (from age 4) on appetite traits. Methods In all, 995 Norwegian children participated at age 4; 760 and 687 of these children took part in the assessment at ages 6 and 8, respectively. Appetite traits were assessed using the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire, activity was measured using accelerometers, and TV time was based on parental reports. Results High food responsiveness predicted a steeper increase in BMI SDS. A reversed effect was also observed: High BMI SDS predicted increased food responsiveness and decreased satiety responsiveness. Physical activity and TV time were unrelated to BMI SDS. Conclusion Children whose eating is especially triggered by the sight and smell of food show prospective increased weight gain. Excess weight and weight gain also predict increased food-approaching behavior.Journal of Pediatric Psychology 06/2015; DOI:10.1093/jpepsy/jsv052 · 2.91 Impact Factor
Article: What enhances the development of emotion understanding in young children? A longitudinal study of interpersonal predictors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We studied potential determinants of the development of children's emotion understanding (EU) from age 4 to 6 in a Norwegian community sample (N = 974) using the Test of Emotion Comprehension. Interpersonal predictors included the accuracy of parental mentalization, parental emotional availability, and teacher-reported child social skills. Intrapersonal child factors were child gender and verbal skills. Overall, children's EU increased significantly over time. After adjusting for child gender, age-4 EU, and parental socio-economic status, greater child verbal and social skills and greater parental mentalization each uniquely predicted growth in EU. Results are discussed in terms of theory and research on children's EU and parents' emotion socialization. © 2015 The British Psychological Society.05/2015; DOI:10.1111/bjdp.12095
Article: Screening for Behavioral Disorders With the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System: Sensitivity, Specificity, and Core Discriminative Components[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We assessed the ability of the Dyadic Parent-Child Coding System to discriminate between Norwegian children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and/or Conduct Disorder (n = 36) and community controls with no diagnosis (n = 122). All children were diagnosed by the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment. Results showed that a composite score of three negative parent codes—Negative Talk, Indirect Commands with No Opportunity for Compliance, and Direct Command with Compliance—as well as one child code, Command, evidenced excellent screening efficiency. Results are discussed in light of possible cultural differences in parent-child interaction and revisions of the coding system.Child & Family Behavior Therapy 03/2015; 37(1):20-37.

Article: Prevalence and comorbidity of mental disorders among adolescents living in residential youth care[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Most adolescents are placed in residential youth care (RYC) because of severe psychosocial strains and child maltreatment, which represent risk factors for developing mental disorders. To plan RYC units and ensure that residents receive evidence-based psychiatric interventions, it is necessary to obtain reliable and valid prevalence estimates of mental disorders in this population. However, there is a lacuna of research on diagnoses derived from standardized clinical interviews. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and comorbidity of mental disorders applying diagnostic interviews in an entire population of adolescents living in RYC in Norway. All young people in RYC were invited to participate in the study. Eighty-six RYC institutions with 601 eligible adolescents were included and 400 adolescents, 12-20 years old, participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 67 %. Anonymous Child Behaviour Checklist scores for 141 (70 %) of the declining residents were also available, allowing diagnoses according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) for 541 youths to be estimated. Diagnoses were assessed by trained interviewers with the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment interview (CAPA). Seventy-six point two per cent (71.5-80.8 CI 95 %) of adolescents received at least one 3-month DSM-IV diagnosis. Prevalence rates for internalizing psychiatric disorders were higher than for behavioural disorders. Comorbidity was high between these two groups. Mental disorders were prevalent among children and youth in RYC. Our results create major concerns and challenge the existing organization of the RYC system.European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry 03/2015; DOI:10.1007/s00787-015-0700-x · 3.55 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Although effortful control (EC), a regulatory aspect of temperament, is associated with a wide range of developmental outcomes, knowledge about EC promoters is scarce. This study explored whether secure attachment promoted the development of EC from preschool to school age in a community sample of 903 Norwegian children. EC was measured using the parent-reported Children's Behavior Questionnaire at four (T1) and six (T2) years of age, and attachment was measured using the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task at T1. Previous research has indicated that a child's gender and socioeconomic status are possible covariates of EC; hence, these factors were included in the analyses. Despite considerable rank-order stability in EC, secure attachment contributed to an increase in EC. Furthermore, gender moderated the effect of attachment: secure attachment promoted EC in boys only. These findings emphasize preschool boys' need for emotional security to facilitate effortful capacities in their transition to school. - This link from publisher gives you full-text accsess: http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/55yS8NRJeBeM6pq2Xp5X/fullAttachment & Human Development 02/2015; DOI:10.1080/14616734.2014.999098 · 2.38 Impact Factor
Article: Preschool-Age Problem Behavior and Teacher–Child Conflict in School: Direct and Moderation Effects by Preschool Organization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The hypothesis was tested that the new open-group Norwegian day-care centers would more than traditionally organized centers negatively affect (a) current and (b) future teacher-child relationships, and (c) the developmental legacy of preschool problem behavior. The focus was on eight hundred and fifty 4-year-olds from 153 centers who were followed up in first grade. Results of this natural quasi-experiment revealed that children from open-group centers (a) experienced less teacher-child closeness in preschool and (b) more teacher-child conflict in first grade, and (c) that high levels of preschool problem behavior forecast especially high levels of future teacher-child conflict, but only for children from open-group centers. Results highlight the importance of spatial and social organization of day care and their translational implications. © 2015 The Authors.

Article: Preschool Social Exclusion, Aggression and Cooperation: A Longitudinal Evaluation of the Need-to-Belong and the Social-Reconnection Hypotheses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The need-to-belong theory stipulates that social exclusion fosters aggression, whereas the social-reconnection hypothesis suggests that social exclusion promotes motivation to behave cooperatively. To date, empirical investigations of these contrasting views have focused on the immediate effects of social exclusion, yielding mixed results. Here we examine longer-term effects of preschool social exclusion on children's functioning two years later. Social exclusion was reported by teachers, aggression and cooperation by parents. Cross-lagged analyses showed that greater social exclusion at age four predicted more aggression and less cooperation at age six, providing support for the need-to-belong rather than social-reconnection hypothesis. Secondary analyses showed that social exclusion predicted more aggression only among children scoring above mean on aggression at age four, indicating that aggressive behavior is amplified by social exclusion among children already behaving aggressively. No gender differences were found. Implications and limitations are discussed in a developmental context.Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin 01/2015; DOI:10.1177/0146167214554591 · 2.52 Impact Factor

Conference Paper: Stability of Sleep Disorders From Preschool to First Grade and Their Bidirectional Relationship With Psychiatric Symptoms[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To examine the prevalence and stability of DSM-4-defined sleep disorders from preschool to first grade and to explore the bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and symptoms of psychiatric disorders. All children born in 2003 or 2004 in Trondheim, Norway, who attended regular community health checkups for 4-year-olds, were invited to participate (97.2% attendance; 82.0% consent rate, n = 2475) in this study. The authors recruited a screen-stratified subsample of 1250 children and interviewed 994 parents (79.6%) using a structured diagnostic interview (the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment). Two years later, 795 of the parents completed the interview. There was stability in insomnia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 4.03, confidence interval [CI] = 2.83-5.75) and sleepwalking (adjusted OR = 19.28, CI = 4.53-82.10), whereas none of the children with hypersomnia or nightmare disorder at age 4 had the same disorder 2 years later. Insomnia increased the risk for developing symptoms of conduct disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and social phobia when the initial levels of insomnia were adjusted for. Symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and MDD at age 4 were statistically linked to insomnia at age 6. Sleepwalking predicted later separation anxiety disorder, whereas hypersomnia was unrelated to symptoms of psychiatric disorders. Insomnia is a prevalent and stable disorder in children and is bidirectionally related to psychiatric symptoms.21st World Congress of IACAPAP (International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Proffesions, Durban, South-Africa; 08/2014

ABSTRACT: This study examines secular trends in eating problems among adolescents between 1992 and 2010. The study aims further to investigate whether such trends can be accounted for by secular changes in putative risk factors. Three nationwide surveys of Norwegian senior high-school students were conducted in 1992, 2002, and 2010 (response rates 97.0, 91.0, and 83.2%). At each time point, approximately 3,000 adolescents participated. Eating problems were assessed by means of the Dieting and the Bulimia and Food Preoccupation subscales of the Eating Attitude Test-12. Moreover, a variety of potential risk factors that might account for time trends in such problems were measured. Dieting scores increased almost linearly for both genders during the research period. No differences over time in Bulimia and Food Preoccupation scores were seen among boys, whereas these symptoms peaked in 2002 for girls with considerably lower levels in both 1992 and 2010. The increase in Dieting from 1992 to 2010 for both genders could be attributed in part to increasing body mass index levels and, to a lesser degree, to depressive symptoms among females. The girls' time trend in Bulimia and Food Preoccupation was to some extent related to changes in appearance satisfaction, alcohol intoxication, and global self-worth. This study is one of few to statistically examine how secular trends in eating problems are related to changes in putative risk factors. The study does not however provide conclusive information on the causal direction between putative risk factors and eating problems. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met genotype moderates the effect of disorganized attachment on social development in young children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Children with histories of disorganized attachment exhibit diverse problems, possibly because disorganization takes at least two distinctive forms as children age: controlling-punitive and controlling-caregiving. This variation in the developmental legacy of disorganization has been attributed primarily to variations in children's rearing experiences. Here an alternative explanation of these divergent sequelae of disorganization is evaluated: one focused on genotype. Structural equation modeling was applied to data on 704 Norwegian children to test whether the catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met genotype moderates the effect of disorganized attachment, which was measured dimensionally at 4 years of age using the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task, on changes in aggressive behavior and social competence from ages 4 to 6. Children who scored high on disorganization and were homozygous for the valine allele displayed significantly greater increases in aggression and decreases in self-oriented social skills (e.g., self-regulation and assertiveness) over time than did their disorganized counterparts carrying the methionine allele, whereas disorganized children carrying the methionine allele increased their other-oriented social skill (e.g., cooperation and responsibility) scores more than did valine-homozygous children. These results are consistent with the controlling-punitive and controlling-caregiving behaviors observed in disorganized children, suggesting that the children's genotype contributed to variations in the social development of disorganized children.Development and Psychopathology 06/2014; 26(4):1-15.

ABSTRACT: To identify sociodemographic, child, parent, and day care provider factors at age 4 that predict Norwegian children's service use for mental health problems at age 7. Two birth cohorts of 4-year-old children and their parents living in the city of Trondheim, Norway, were invited (82% consented). We successfully interviewed 995 parents among 1250 drawn to participate using the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment to set diagnoses and record parental burden and service use. Information concerning sociodemographics, child impairment, parental social support, and child need for mental health services according to parents, day care teacher, and health nurse were obtained. Rate of service use among those with a behavioral or emotional disorder was 10.7% at age 4 and 25.2% at age 7. Behavioral disorders (odds ratio [OR] 2.6, confidence interval [CI] 1.3-5.3), but not emotional disorders, predicted service use. When adjusted for incapacity (OR 1.3, CI 1.2-1.6), disorders were no longer predictive. Incapacity, in turn, was not predictive once parental burden (OR 1.1, CI 1.0-1.1) and parents' (OR 2.7, CI 1.0-7.9) and day care teachers' (OR 2.1, CI 1.4-3.2) judgment of child need of help were included. Lower socioeconomic status predicted more service use over and beyond these factors (OR 3.0, CI 1.5-6.1). Behavioral disorders may instigate service use if they result in impairment, and such impairment may operate via increased parental burden and parent and caregiver problem recognition. Service use may be increased through effective screening programs and efforts to increase day care teachers' recognition of emotional problems.PEDIATRICS 05/2014; 133(6).

Article: Social Exclusion Predicts Impaired Self-Regulation: A 2-Year Longitudinal Panel Study Including the Transition from Preschool to School[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The need-to-belong theory stipulates that social exclusion (e.g., being rejected by peers) impairs the ability to self-regulate and experimental studies with adults support this contention, at least on a short-term basis. Few studies have investigated whether social exclusion affects the development of self-regulation on children in a more enduring manner. By using data from a community sample of 762 children, we investigated reciprocal relations between social exclusion and self-regulation from age four to age six. Social exclusion was reported by teachers, whereas self-regulation was reported by parents. Autoregressive latent cross-lagged analyses showed that social exclusion predicted impaired development of dispositional self-regulation, and reciprocally, that poor self-regulation predicted enhanced social exclusion. Social exclusion and self-regulation reciprocally affect one another over time. Social exclusion undermines children's development of self-regulation, whereas poor self-regulation increases the likelihood of exclusion. Results illuminate the applied relevance of the need-to belong theory.Journal of Personality 03/2014; 83(2). DOI:10.1111/jopy.12096 · 2.44 Impact Factor
Article: Reciprocal Associations Between Depressive Symptoms and Disordered Eating Among Adolescent Girls and Boys: A Multiwave, Prospective Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Symptoms of depression and eating disorders increase during adolescence, particularly among girls, and they tend to co-occur. Despite this evidence, there is meager research on whether depression increases the risk of future eating pathology, or vice versa, and we do not know whether these processes are different for adolescent girls and boys. Accordingly, this study explored the prospective reciprocal associations between depressive symptoms and disordered eating at different time points from preadolescence to mid-adolescence and tested the moderator effect of gender on these associations. A community-based sample of Spanish youth (N = 942, 49 % female) was assessed at ages of approximately 10-11 (T1), 12-13 (T2), 14-15 (T3), and 16-17 (T4) years. The bidirectional relationships between depressive symptoms and disordered eating were estimated in an autoregressive cross-lagged model with latent variables. A unidirectional, age-specific association between depressive symptoms at T1 and disordered eating at T2 was found. No other significant cross-lagged effect emerged, but the stability of the constructs was considerable. Gender did not moderate any of the links examined. Regardless of gender, the transition from childhood to adolescence appears to be a key period when depressive symptoms foster the development of disordered eating. These findings suggest that early prevention and treatment of depression targeting both girls and boys may result in lower levels of depressive symptoms and disordered eating in adolescence.Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 12/2013; 42(5).

ABSTRACT: This study provide data on the prevalence of diagnosable sleep disorders in preschoolers and examined the relationship between specific sleep disorders and a range of DSM-4-defined psychiatric symptoms. All children born in 2003 or 2004 in Trondheim, Norway, who attended regular community health checkups for 4 year olds were asked to participate (97.2% attendance; 82.0% consent rate, N = 2475). A screen-stratified subsample of 1250 children was recruited to participate in an additional comprehensive study that included a structured diagnostic interview (the Preschool-Age Psychiatric Assessment). Nine hundred ninety-five parents (79.6%) completed the interview. The estimated sleep disorder rate was 19.2%. Rates of specific disorders were as follows: primary insomnia (16.6%), primary hypersomnia (0.8%), nightmare disorder (2.2%), and sleepwalking disorder (0.7%). When adjusted for a range of common psychiatric symptoms, primary insomnia was specifically related to symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, and specific phobia. When sleep problems were excluded as a symptom of depression, the association between depression and primary insomnia was no longer significant. Nightmare disorder was significantly related to generalized anxiety disorder. This first study of the prevalence and comorbidity of diagnosable sleep disorders in preschoolers indicates that primary insomnia is common in young children, whereas other sleep disorders are rare. Sleep disorders are related to psychiatric symptoms, particularly symptoms of anxiety disorders.Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics: JDBP 11/2013; DOI:10.1097/01.DBP.0000437636.33306.49 · 2.12 Impact Factor

This past weekend, I brought home a couple of containers of fresh local cherries from the market and immediately started thinking of ways to use them (besides just eating them on their own!).
I'm not sure why, but whenever I think about cherry recipes, I always want to pair them with chocolate - it's one of those combos that just goes together so well! So after enjoying a chocolate coffee cherry smoothie for breakfast on Sunday, I decided to make cherry brownies as a treat that I could bring into work the next day.
Since I'm not usually the biggest fan of chocolatey desserts myself, I don't have a lot of experience making brownies. Luckily, some of the experts on vegan baking in the blogging world have already perfected their own brownie recipes that I was able to use as guides!
For my brownie base, I mostly followed Oh She Glows' recipe (also in her cookbook that I own), with some of these tips from Edible Perspective, except that I used a mix of oat flour and all purpose flours instead of almond meal, so mine are not gluten-free.
Instead of just adding the cherries as is to the batter, I was inspired by Annie's Eats to roast them first with a bit of maple syrup so they were nice and sweet and juicy!
While my coworkers could still tell that these were a "healthier" brownie (or maybe they just guessed because they know me and my baking by now), I loved how they turned out!
They held together well (a problem with vegan brownies I've tried in the past), and they were definitely chewy and fudgy in a stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth kind of way, with just the right amount of chocolate flavour. I also thought the roasted cherries were the perfect addition to add some extra sweetness and cut the richness of the brownies a bit.
I've still got some cherries leftover, so if you have any other favourite cherry recipes or ideas that I can use, feel free to let me know!

Murder charges filed in pregnant woman's shooting death
Suspect arrested in pipe-bombing
Prosecutors in Leavenworth County today filed a murder charge against a 23-year-old Lansing man in the shooting death of a pregnant woman.
Sadale Fox, who was charged with one count of first-degree murder, will appear Friday morning in Leavenworth County District Court. He remains in jail on $1.5 million bond.
Fox is accused of shooting Olivia Jackson, 20, in the head on Tuesday at a mobile home in Lansing that she was visiting.
Also today, officials arrested a 21-year-old Farley, Mo., man on charges of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with a pipe-bombing incident on Jan. 11 at a Leavenworth house. Jackson and her sister were at that house at the time, but escaped unharmed. Prosecutors said they expected to file charges against the Missouri man on Friday.

Early global presence
Michelin was looking for new markets as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The 1900 Guide already mentions two agents in Belgium and Austria. Michelin then went on to create a network of commercial agencies in Italy (1901), Germany (1902), Switzerland (1902), Spain (1904), New York (1904) and England (1905). The first plant outside France was built in Turin, Italy in 1906, next to the Fiat factory. The visionary Michelin brothers then chose the United States for their second plant abroad, built in Milltown (New Jersey) in 1907.

Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Recommendations for plants under sugar maple (Acer saccharum) tree
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We have an area under sugar maple trees and near white pines. We cannot get any grass to grow. There is little moisture and no sun in the summer. We live 25 miles north of Nashville, TN. Can you recommend a plant we could use in this area.
Allelopathy (negative effects on growth of other plant species from chemicals produced by another) is listed as strong to moderate for the roots of Acer saccharum (Sugar maple) in an article, Potential Allelopath in Different Tree Species, by Kim Coder from the Warnell School of Forest Resources. Pinus strobus (Eastern white pine) is on the same list with a slight allelopathic effect from its roots. This may be one of the reasons you aren't able to grow grass under your sugar maples. However, the fact that it is dry and very shady underneath the tree is probably the more serious barrier to growing many plants.
We can do a search in our Native Plant Database for plants that will tolerate dry soils and shade (less than 2 hours of sun per day) by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH and choosing Tennessee from the Select State or Province list, then 'Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day' from Light requirement and 'Dry - soil does not exhibit visible signs of moisture' from Soil moisture.
Here are some possibilities for plants from that list that should work for you. I wasn't able to find information, however, about native plants that withstand possible allelopathic effects of sugar maple roots so I can't be absolutely positive that this won't be a problem. Also, you need to realize that you will have to provide some water at first to get these plants established.
Many sedges such as Carex blanda (Eastern woodland sedge) and Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge), that are very grass-like, will do well in dry shade.
One grass that grows very well in the shade and is very attractive is Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats). It does like a moderate amount of moisture, however, but perhaps your area would have enough.
Here are some other low-growing plants from the list that do well in dry shade.
Aquilegia canadensis (Eastern red columbine)
Gaultheria procumbens (Checkerberry)
Hypericum prolificum (Shrubby St. Johnswort)
Pteridium aquilinum (Western bracken fern)
Salvia urticifolia (Nettleleaf sage)

Amazing, memorable way to see dolpins!
We highly recommend this dolphin tour. We had a great time! We saw dolphin as soon as we hit the water. They swam next to our Waverunner jumping out of the water, so close you could almost touch them. We've done the glass bottom boat, and dolphin cruises in the years past and this was by far our favorite way to see the dolphins. It was an amazing experience for our family. Our children were totally loving it! This was a trip they will never forget. Our guide "Bobby" was awesome. After playing with the dolphins we were able to have some free time to play on the Waverunners. Worth every penny!Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

Had a little mix up at the beginning. Evidently some communication problems between tripshock and the staff. The staff rallied and provided a wonderful exploration of the Gulf and found dolphins. The Wave runners were very fast and in good condition, with no mechanical problems. We really enjoyed this experience. Will definitely do this again.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

This was the highlight of our spring break! It was a beautiful, calm morning so we went out in the gulf for a bit - had a blast. We came back in the bay and saw several pods of dolphins near crab island. One pod was playing with us - swimming under the wave runners.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

Picture: Steven Spielberg Women in Film 2007 Crystal and Lucy Awards Beverly Hills, California - 14.06.07
Legendary director Steven Spielberg has postponed his latest movie VENGEANCE because he's concerned it will become a target for Islamic terrorists.
Production on VENGEANCE - about the successful hunt for the 17 Palestinians who attacked the Israeli Olympic team at the 1972 Munich games - was set to start in June (04), but the Jewish Schindler's List director is anxious because one of the terrorists has never been found.
Spielberg's spokesman Marvin Levy told website PAGESIX.COM, "Steven is getting script pages every day. Troy's Eric Bana is still set to star in the movie, scheduled for a 2006 release.
"But the postponement has resulted in Oscar-winning Ben Kingsley dropping out. There were a lot of sources for this movie from many mediums."03/08/2004 17:27

Blues Trail lands NEA attention
The Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) was granted a $20,000 Folk Arts Infrastructure Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the development of a Mississippi Blues Trail Curriculum Resource Packet.
The Mississippi Blues Trail Curriculum Resource Packet will assist teachers in integrating the new statewide initiative into the classroom. The curriculum will facilitate 4th grade students in understanding how blues music developed and continues to impact contemporary culture and can be used to examine topics including geography, history, and social studies in the five geographic regions into which the Blues Trail is divided (Delta, Hills, Pines, River/Capital, Coast) and beyond. More specifically, these lessons can be used to examine particular musicians and institutions, such as radio, record companies, or musical venues.
