28 year old woman | Alameda, CA, USA | Seeking men 21-33 within 50 miles
I just haven't met you, yet...
I have an amazing new career that I am about to start in Redwood City, but I currently live in Alameda. No plans to move just yet. I was born and raised in the East Bay, but I went to New England for college. I enjoyed it but the Bay Area is definitely my home, I love it here :) I've been told that I'm witty and funny, a great friend, compassionate, smart and can light up a room. I am naturally inquisitive and enjoy learning new things. Traveling is my passion. I believe that all relationships, whether platonic friendship or romantic, need nurturing in order to remain strong. I am fiercely loyal to my loved ones and value my connection with my close-knit group of friends and family. Communication is very important to me, so my partner must be able to be open and honest with me. I am in a place in my life where I am very happy with who I am and the career path that I have chosen. I am independent and don't NEED a partner but I WANT one. I have built a good life for myself...so in a way, my life is the cake and you'd be the frosting on top! They are good as separate entities but are even better together and bring out the best in each other. (corny metaphor alert!) My new work schedule will be 3 days on 4 days off / 4 days on 3 days off, so I want someone to enjoy my downtime with. Maybe we can jet off for weekend adventures! Ultimately I am looking for my life partner, and would love to settle down with the right guy someday when the time is right... get married, have kids and still have my career. I want it all! :)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
Aerobics, Dancing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I have one cat. I wouldnt mind having a dog someday if I had a bigger place.
Middle of the Road
I love traveling, exploring local flea markets and antique stores, going out to dinner and movies with friends, spending time with my family. My favorite foods are definitely Mexican and Italian. Rollercoasters are fun, so is going on boats. Reading.
I like autobiographies, biographies, historical fiction and novels, I try to read at least one book per month. I am reading the new Khaled Hosseini novel right now (awesome local author! Wrote the Kite Runner.)

"The segment 'Retarded News' is designed to highlight odd stories that are seemingly always in the news," according to the email that was included in the court papers.
"These stories are NOT about disabled individuals. However, in our investigation, we noted the picture that he was using did denote a person with Down syndrome," the program director wrote.

If the excuse is true, then whoever wrote this article for abc/yahoo should be in retarded news for not knowing the difference between autism and downs.

Is it just me or can I see that photo being turned into a meme with a different person changing what that paper he is holding up says.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 16:00
My feelings? Yes, it's terribly tasteless, but also terribly naive of the parents to not assume this would happen. It takes 2 existing meme's ("Count to potato" and "insert text onto holding sign"). 4chaneriffic
Posted 29 April 2013 - 16:30
Then you are as naive as the parents.
I just can't believe someone would even think something like this is acceptable.

Customer Reviews of Nintendo DS Lite Bundle with Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Gold)
Great DS12/27/2007
This is the second DS system that i have purchased and my experience with buy. com has been a good one... the system thus far is working great and the game is fun...
As Expected12/26/2007
This is exactly what I expected. A gold Nintendo DS with the Zelda game. My younger son has one that is two-tone so there wasn't much to review. This item would be good for any child age 6+...I think the dual screens and many control buttons might be overwhelming to a child if this is their first handheld game. Maybe try the Gameboy Advance first and then move on to this on account of the stylus, etc.
Fantastic Zelda game12/15/2007
This game is another knockout for Nintendo. Building on the success of The Wind Waker they took it further with this game. I am impressed by the controls of the game and love how they have ported it over to the DS.

Im Junko, I'm 15 and I like to make up stories and characters. I don't really know what I want to do yet after highschool but I know I like physics and drawing, so I'm gonna try to refine my abilities in both fields
Until now I've drawn almost purely anime poops. I still wanna retain this kind of style, but I also want to build up fundamental skills and get better at drawing in general
I don't know what my goals for this are yet, but i'd appreciate if you'd help me out

Notes & Reviews:
This is the Schubert Ensemble's second disc devoted to works by George Enescu, a composer who has been somewhat neglected over the years but who's true talents are more and more appreciated during a recent surge in interest in his music. Included on this disc is the Schubert Ensemble's own edition of the Piano Trio, arrived at after close study of the composer's heavily annotated manuscript.
Gramophone Magazine, October 2013
A splendidly idiomatic performance from the Romanian violinist Remus Azotei, light of touch but deep of perception...Enescu is capable of writing some complicated, even dense textures but the outcome is lucid, and lucidly recorded.
Sunday Times, 15th December 2013
The reconstructed piano trio and, above all, the fine mature quintet prove undeservedly neglected in the Schubert Ensemble's committed and passionate performances.

Today, KFC restaurants are releasing their new menu item, original recipe bites, as part of their new marketing plan. This new bite-sized chicken dish is supposed to appeal to adult taste buds, claiming in a press release that "with the introduction of Original Recipe Bites, bite-sized chicken has finally 'grown up.' They're big, tasty pieces of bite-sized 100 percent breast meat chicken that will be a hit with adults as well as kids." The original recipe bites are available in 6 and 10 pieces and can be ordered a la carte or as part of a combo meal. Do you think the new original recipe bites are just a fancy name for chicken nuggets or do they really contain adult appeal? Let us know in the comment section below.

GUNS EVERYWHERE: Teachers need to be armed? Assault rifles have killed people in churches, movie theaters, malls and at political gatherings. Next, the ushers in churches and theaters and sales personnel in malls all need to be armed. We need armed militia walking the streets night and day, too. The police and armed forces just aren't enough. Have I been transported to some terrible country in my sleep? Have I died and gone to hell?

Designing Low-Frequency Enhanced Loudspeaker Systems Using a Vibration-Absorber Theory
(Subscribe to this discussion)
A universal design procedure has been developed for enhancing the low-frequency response of loudspeakers ranging from handset loudspeakers to large subwoofers. The procedure attempts to find the optimal parameters of a vented-box system on the basis of the vibration-absorber theory. Simulations and experiments were used to validate the optimal design. Design charts and constrained optimization facilitate the design of the acoustic enclosure. Although limitations do not allow for accurate prediction of responses below 100 Hz, the comparison between closed- and vented-box performance correlates well with the desired bass extension.

I was expecting to see the comparison curves between the proposed design procedure and the conventional design procedure in terms of the low frequency response. How and why is the new procedure better than the conventional one?

Boston area honors slain MIT officer
BOSTON As bagpipes wailed, more than 4,000 mourners paid their respects Wednesday to an MIT police officer who authorities say was ambushed in his cruiser by the Boston Marathon bombers, while U.S. investigators trying to get to the bottom of the plot looked for answers from the Tsarnaev brothers' parents in Russia.
In other developments:
- The bombs were detonated by remote control, according to U.S. officials close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. It was not clear what the detonation device was, but the charges against surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev say he was using a cellphone moments before the blasts.
- Tsarnaev told interrogators that he and his brother were angry about the U.S. wars in Muslim Afghanistan and Iraq, officials speaking on condition of anonymity said.
- In a sign of how things were slowly and painfully getting back to normal in Boston, the area around the finish line on Boylston Street reopened nine days after the tragedy, freshly poured cement still drying on the repaired sidewalk.
- On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are asking whether a failure to share intelligence contributed to the bombings April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 260.
MIT students, faculty and staff, law enforcement officials from across the nation and Vice President Joe Biden gathered on the campus in Cambridge to remember Sean Collier, a MIT officer who authorities say was gunned down by Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev three days after the bombing.
The line of mourners stretched for a half-mile, and they had to make their way through tight security, including metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs. Boston native James Taylor sang "The Water is Wide" and led a sing-along of "Shower the People."
Biden called the bombing suspects "two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knockoff jihadis." And he warned that terrorists attack the U.S. to try to force it to "jettison what we value most in the world: our open society, our system of justice that guarantees freedom."
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was listed in fair condition as he recovered from wounds suffered in a getaway attempt last week. He could face the death penalty if convicted of plotting with his older brother to set off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that ripped through the crowd at the race. His 26-year-old brother died in a shootout last week.
Many Boylston Street businesses - banks, restaurants, gyms - remained closed. But a nearby Starbucks opened for the first time and allowed customers to retrieve purses, cellphones and school bags left behind as they fled in fear.
"I don't think there's going to be a sense of normalcy for a while," said Tom Champoux, who works a few blocks away, as he pointed to the cement and boarded-up windows. "There are scars here that will be with us for a long time."
U.S. investigators traveled to the predominantly Muslim province of Dagestan in southern Russia and were in contact with the brothers' parents, hoping to shed light on the attack.

Why would one have two Facebook accounts?
Is there any reason why a person would set up two Facebook accounts other than that of being unfaithful?
Most Helpful Opinion
I actually have two Facebook accounts. It happened because Facebook decided that I was a hacker and blocked my other account from me, and I couldn't request a password change because when I did they never sent me a code :S Took me a month to get it back. In the meantime I made a new one. Some people added me that I didn't have on my original one, so I decided to keep it :S Kinda silly I know but I use my new one as a business one. That way if people I work with want to add me, they can on there. I don't go on that much there so it's not a big deal, they can't see my personal stuff :) Not that I post anything I would regret, but my original one is not in my real name :)
I don't use it for cheating or anything, just keeping my image clean and giving me freedom to be me :D
What Guys Said 4
Yes. He plays games on Facebook. So he has one account that's for his real life contacts. The other is for his game account... he'll add random people and that makes the game better/easier. He doesn't want random people participating in the game mixing with his actual friends/associates.
He'd have more than two for that.

Superman, citizen of the world?
The Man of Steel, in the latest issue of Action Comics which hit newsstands on Wednesday, said he intends to renounce his U.S. citizenship in a speech before the United Nations.
"I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy," Superman said in a short story in the issue, Action Comics No. 900 from the Time Warner Inc unit DC Comics.
In the comic, Superman never actually renounces his citizenship, he only talks about his plans to do that.
But conservative commentators reacted with disgust to the new storyline, given that the fictional superhero has long proclaimed he stood for "Truth, Justice and the American way."
In a blog post at The Weekly Standard, senior writer Jonathan Last questioned Superman's beliefs, now that he seems to have rejected the United States.
"Does he believe in British interventionism or Swiss neutrality?" Last wrote. "You see where I'm going with this: If Superman doesn't believe in America, then he doesn't believe in anything."
The new plot twist for Superman comes as the superhero visitor from a distant planet, who was raised by a Kansas farmer and his wife, looks to take on a more global mission for his battle against evil.
"The world's too small. Too connected," Superman said in the comic book.
Superman, who was first introduced in the 1938, has a long association with the United States. But Joe Shuster, the artist who helped create the character with writer Jerry Siegel, was born in Canada.
And critics have described Superman's life story as a metaphor for the immigrant experience, because he is an alien.
DC Comics co-publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio seemed to downplay their landmark superhero character's latest declaration, in a joint statement.
"In a short story in Action Comics 900, Superman announces his intention to put a global focus on his never ending battle, but he remains, as always, committed to his adopted home and his roots as a Kansas farm boy from Smallville," they said.
BigWilliam - It's just the character restating what he has said a thousand times before. He's not a hero for one country, he's a hero for the entire world.
it is still a huge change to the fundamental core of the character's motivations.
BigWilliam - It's a clarification of the direction the character has taken for the last 20 years now.Odd, that doesn't appear to be what the publishers believe.
CharlesLewis - In context, it makes more sense. It may not end up happening. I still don't care about Superman, tho.
orcus - That art is awful.
CharlesLewis - no, in this specific story his actions are being viewed as American aggression. He renounces his citizenship as a response to that perception, then goes into some justification.
As I said, IN THE STORY it makes sense.

Article: Associations of maternal age with maternity care use and birth outcomes in primiparous women: a comparison of results in 1991 and 2008 in Finland[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare birth outcomes and maternity care use in 1991 and 2008 by age among primiparous Finnish women. Register-based study. Nationwide Medical Birth Register. All primiparous women in 1991 (n = 24 765) and 2008 (n = 23 511). Women aged 35-39 and ≥40 years were compared with women aged 20-34 years in 1991 and 2008, using logistic regression to adjust for women's background. Maternity care: prenatal visits, hospitalisation during pregnancy, labour induction, delivery mode, long postpartum hospital stay; and birth outcomes: birthweight, preterm birth, Apgar scores, intensive/observation unit, respiratory care, perinatal death. In both years, older women's deliveries were more often induced, instrumental, or by caesarean section. In 2008 compared with 1991, hospitalisations were lower and instrumental deliveries and labour induction were higher in older women. A significant decrease in adjusted odds ratios (OR, 95% confidence intervals) between 1991 and 2008 among women aged 35-39 was found for preterm birth (1.47, 1.18-1.84 versus 0.96, 0.86-1.07) and for intensive/observation unit (1.73, 1.47-2.05 versus 1.21, 1.07-1.37) and, among women aged ≥40 years, for intensive/observation unit (3.14, 2.30-4.29 versus 1.64, 1.31-2.07). The risk for perinatal death (1.66, 0.60-4.60 versus 2.69, 1.07-6.79) was higher in 2008 than in 1991 among women aged ≥40. In 2008, older primiparous women still used more maternity care, had more interventions, and poorer birth outcomes than younger women, regardless of care advances. Additional risks declined among women aged 35-39 but not among aged ≥40.BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology 08/2013; 121(3). DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.12415 · 3.86 Impact Factor
Article: Medical versus surgical termination of pregnancy in primigravid womenis the next delivery differently at risk? A population-based register study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To compare the effect of medical versus surgical termination of pregnancy (TOP), performed in primigravid women, on subsequent delivery. Design Population-based register study. Setting Finland 20002009. Population All primigravid women (n = 8294) who underwent TOP during first trimester of pregnancy by medical (n = 3441) or surgical (n = 4853) method, and whose subsequent pregnancy resulted in singleton delivery. Methods The women were identified in the Finnish Register of Induced Abortions, and the data were linked to the Medical Birth and the Hospital Discharge Registries. Main outcome measures Risk of preterm birth, low birthweight, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant and placental complications (placenta praevia, placental abruption, retained placenta, placenta accreta). Results No statistically significant differences in the incidences of preterm birth (4.0% in the medical group versus 4.9% in the surgical group), low birthweight (3.4% versus 4.0%), SGA infants (2.6% versus 2.9%) or placental complications (2.6% versus 2.8%) emerged between the two groups. After adjusting for various background factors, medical TOP was not associated with significantly altered risks of preterm birth (odds ratio [OR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.681.13), low birthweight (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.681.19), SGA infant (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.641.20) or placental complications (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.721.34) versus surgical TOP. In a sub-analysis excluding women who underwent surgical evacuation following the index TOP, medical TOP was associated with a reduced risk of preterm birth (P < 0.01), but the difference became insignificant after adjusting for gestational age at the time of TOP, inter-pregnancy interval, maternal age, cohabitation status, socio-economic status, residence and smoking during pregnancy. Conclusions A history of one medical versus surgical TOP, performed in primigravid women, is associated with similar obstetric risks in the subsequent delivery.BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology 11/2012; 120(3).

Article: Birth outcomes after induced abortion: a nationwide register-based study of first births in Finland[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: STUDY QUESTION: Is the perinatal health of first-born children affected by the mother's previous induced abortion(s) (IAs)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Prior IAs, particularly repeat IAs, are correlated with an increased risk of some health problems at first birth; even in a country with good health care quality. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: A positive association between IA and risk of preterm birth or a dose-response effect has been found in some previous studies. Limited information and conflicting results on other infant outcomes are available. STUDY DESIGN, SIZEAND DURATION: Nationwide register-based study including 300 858 first-time mothers during 1996-2008 in Finland. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTINGAND METHODS: All the first-time mothers with a singleton birth (obtained from the Medical Birth Register) in the period 1996-2008 (n = 300 858) were linked to the Abortion Register for the period 1983-2008. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: Of the first-time mothers, 10.3% (n = 31 083) had one, 1.5% had two and 0.3% had three or more IAs. Most IAs were surgical (88%) performed before 12 weeks (91%) and carried out for social reasons (97%). After adjustment, perinatal deaths and very preterm birth (<28 gestational week) suggested worse outcomes after IA. Increased odds for very preterm birth were seen in all the subgroups and exhibited a dose-response relationship: 1.19 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98-1.44] after one IA, 1.69 (1.14-2.51) after two and 2.78 (1.48-5.24) after three IAs. Increased odds for preterm birth (<37 weeks) and low birthweight (<2500 g and <1500 g) were seen only among mothers with three or more IAs: 1.35 (1.07-1.71), 1.43 (1.12-1.84) and 2.25 (1.43-3.52), respectively. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Observational studies like ours, however large and well-controlled, will not prove causality. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: In terms of public health and practical implications, health education should contain information of the potential health hazards of repeat IAs, including very preterm birth and low birthweight in subsequent pregnancies. Health care professionals should be informed about the potential risks of repeat IAs on infant outcomes in subsequent pregnancy.

ABSTRACT: Results of earlier studies on cancer risk in infertile women are inconsistent for many cancer types. Our goal was to study cancer incidence among a cohort of women treated with IVF, including ICSI and frozen embryo transfer (FET), compared with that of a control population. A cohort of women who purchased drugs for IVF (including ICSI and FET treatments, n= 9175) in the period 1996-1998 in Finland (later called IVF women) and their age and residence-matched controls further adjusted for socio-economic position and marital status were linked to the Finnish Cancer Registry 1996-2004. The overall cancer incidence and combined incidence of hormonal-related breast, uterine and invasive ovarian cancers were similar among IVF women and controls. IVF women had statistically significantly less cervical cancer [odds ratio (OR): 0.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0.85], but more skin cancers other than melanoma (OR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.02-9.6). IVF women had three times more invasive ovarian cancers than controls, but this difference was not statistically significant, possibly due to the small number of cases. IVF women had slightly fewer breast cancers but difference was likewise not statistically significant. All cases of pulmonary cancer were diagnosed among controls (P= 0.03). General cancer risk or risk of hormonal-related cancers in women was not increased by IVF. The differences in certain cancers suggest a healthy patient effect or may be partly caused by residual socio-economic differences. More large studies and reanalysis of existing studies are needed to evaluate cancer risk among infertile women by subgroups regarding the cause of infertility. When evaluating risk of cancer after drug exposure, dosage and the use of different medicaments should be taken into consideration.Human Reproduction 02/2012; 27(4):1149-55.

ABSTRACT: To study the current legislation and trends in terminations of pregnancy in the European Union (EU). Data were collected on legislation and statistics for terminations of pregnancy. Population-based statistics from the EU member states. Women in reproductive age in the 27 EU member states. Information on legislation was collected for all 27 EU member states. Statistical information until 2008 was compiled from international (n = 24) and national sources (n = 17). Statistical data were not available for Austria, Cyprus and Luxembourg. Terminations of pregnancy per 1000 women aged 15-49 years. Ireland, Malta and Poland have restrictive legislation. Luxembourg permits termination of pregnancy on physical and mental health indications; Cyprus, Finland, and the UK further include socio-economic indications. In all other EU member states termination of pregnancy can be performed in early pregnancy on a women's request. In general, the rates of termination of pregnancy have declined in recent years. In total, 10.3 terminations were reported per 1000 women aged 15-49 years in the EU in 2008. The rate was 12.3/1000 for countries requiring a legal indication for termination, and 11.0/1000 for countries allowing termination on request. Northern Europe (10.9/1000) and Central and Eastern Europe (10.8/1000) had higher rates than Southern Europe (8.9/1000). Northern Europe, however, had substantially higher rates of termination of pregnancy among teenagers. A more consistent and coherent reporting of terminations of pregnancy is needed in the EU. The large variation of termination rates between countries suggests that termination of pregnancy rates may be reduced in some countries without restricting women's access to termination. Sexual education and provision of access to reliable and affordable contraception are essential to achieve low rates of termination of pregnancy.BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology 11/2011; 119(3):324-32.

Article: Should births be centralised in higher level hospitals? Experiences from regionalised health care in Finland[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To describe: (i) trends in centralisation and unplanned out-of-hospital births; (ii) perinatal mortality by place of birth; and (iii) health and birth outcomes in areas served by hospitals of different levels. Cross-sectional analysis of medical birth register data. Finland, from 1991 to 2008, and Uusimaa district from 2004 to 2008. All births. In the hospital-based analysis, birthweight was adjusted by logistic regression. In the area-based analysis results were calculated according to where women lived, grouping them into areas served by different hospitals. The mother's background characteristics were adjusted for by logistic regression. Place of birth, unplanned out-of-hospital birth, perinatal mortality, newborn outcomes, and birth procedures. The number of birthing hospitals declined, the mean number of births per hospital increased, and more births, particularly high-risk births, occurred in university hospitals. Unplanned out-of-hospital births were rare, and their numbers increased in the 2000s, but regional differences declined. Perinatal mortality was higher in the university hospitals than in other hospitals, but after adjusting for birthweight, it was lower. Among children weighing more than 2500 g, mortality was similar for all hospital levels. In out-of-hospital births, perinatal mortality was much higher than in other children. The area-based analysis did not systematically show better or worse results for the areas served by lower level hospitals: after adjusting for the background characteristics of the mothers, all differences were found to be small. The health and service data do not support the need to close down small hospitals in a regionalised system where there is a referral system that functions well.BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology 05/2011; 118(10):1186-95.

Article: Prevalence of menopause symptoms and their association with lifestyle among Finnish middle-aged women[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of menopausal symptoms by severity among the Finnish female population and the association of their symptoms with lifestyle (smoking, use of alcohol, physical activity) and body mass index (BMI). Health 2000 is a nationally representative population-based study of Finnish adults. Data were collected by home interview, three self-administered questionnaires and a clinical examination by a physician. This study included women aged 45-64 years (n=1427). All symptoms included menopause-specific symptoms. Both univariate analysis and a factor analysis based on symptom factors were performed by menopausal group. Multiple regression analysis included each symptom factor as a dependent variable and confounding and lifestyle factors (age, education, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, BMI, use of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) and chronic disease status). Over one-third (38%) of the premenopausal, half of the perimenopausal, and 54% of both postmenopausal and hysterectomized women reported bothersome symptoms. The difference between pre- and perimenopausal women was largest and statistically most significant in the case of back pain and hot flushes. Physically active women reported fewer somatic symptoms than did women with a sedentary lifestyle. Smoking was not related to vasomotor symptoms. Bothersome symptoms are common in midlife, regardless of menopausal status. Inverse association between physical activity and menopausal symptoms needs to be confirmed in randomized trials.Maturitas 12/2010; 67(4):368-74.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed at determining the psychiatric morbidity of women undergoing infertility treatments, before and after treatment as compared with control women. The number of women hospitalized because of psychiatric disorders was obtained from the Hospital Discharge Register (1969-2006) in a cohort of women who purchased drugs for in vitro fertilization, intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection or frozen embryo transfer treatments (n = 9175) in 1996-1998 in Finland and their controls (n = 9175). The age- and residence-matched controls were further adjusted in the analysis for socio-economic position and marital status. Women with infertility treatments had fewer hospitalizations due to depression, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder or mania, eating disorders, adjustment disorders and alcohol or other intoxicant abuse before their treatments than did controls. However, the difference was statistically significant only for psychotic disorders [Odds ratios (OR) 0.38, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.20-0.72]. Differences in hospitalization remained similar also during the 10-year post-treatment follow-up. The exceptions were increased risk of hospitalizations due to adjustment disorders (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.03-11.4) and decreased risk of alcohol or other intoxicant abuse (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.25-0.75) among the women with infertility treatments. The infertile women who gave birth had fewer hospitalizations for all psychiatric diagnoses than did infertile women who did not have a baby. The difference was statistically significant for anxiety disorders (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.81), depression (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.41-0.96) and alcohol or other intoxicant abuse (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.80). Hospitalizations among infertile women who did not have a baby and controls were similar, with the exception of significantly more hospitalizations for psychotic disorders among controls (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.19-0.77). Women treated for infertility had less serious psychiatric morbidity leading to hospitalization than did the controls, both before and after treatments, suggesting a healthy patient effect. After treatments, the risk of hospitalization due to adjustment disorders was increased among the infertile women. Having a baby after infertility treatments was associated with fewer hospitalizations following psychiatric diagnosis.Human Reproduction 08/2010; 25(8):2018-23.

ABSTRACT: Studies describing postpartum childcare practices and the influence of prenatal care on infant care outcomes in rural China are scarce. This study looked at data for 1479 women who had given birth during the preceding 2 years (median age of the child was 8 months). Data were available from a Knowledge, Attitude and Perception cross-sectional survey collected from 2001 to 2003, after a prenatal care intervention in Anhui County, China, with a response rate of 97%. Prenatal care utilisation was categorised using the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilisation index. Logistic regression was used to study the association between prenatal care utilisation and infant care practices. Mothers' uptake of breastfeeding, introduction of milk formula, cereal/porridge, meat and uptake of any immunisation were found to be in accordance with national recommendations. Intermediate prenatal care uptake was positively associated with never breastfeeding and early introduction of cereal/porridge. Inadequate care was positively associated with never breastfeeding, early introduction of milk formula and cereal/porridge, and early start of work after delivery. Initiation to prenatal care after the third month was positively associated with early introduction of milk formula and cereal/porridge. Having no prenatal care was positively associated with never breastfeeding and early introduction of milk formula. Mothers' uptake of infant care practices in this population was largely in accordance with national recommendations. Women with less than adequate utilisation of prenatal care and those who had initiated prenatal care late were less likely to follow recommendations on infant care.Global Public Health 03/2010; 6(1):1-14.

ABSTRACT: The objective was to study the success rates of infertility treatments in the period 1992-2005 in public and private clinics. Aggregate IVF statistics (1992-2005) and nationally representative cross-sectional survey (2002). The success rates of infertility treatments remained stable, despite a substantial increase in single-embryo transfers. In 2005, the clinical pregnancy rate was 23/100 initiated cycles and a live birth rate of 17/100 cycles. The proportions of term singletons and singletons weighing at least 2500g improved over time and both rates were 14/100 in 2005. Pregnancy rates improved most among older women during the study period. The success rate in the private sector was significantly better than that in the public sector among women younger than 35 years. The single-embryo policy has not decreased pregnancy and birth rates. The proportions of term singletons per initiated cycle and singletons weighing at least 2500g per initiated cycle have improved over time. The higher success rate in the private sector may be because of different clientele.European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology 04/2009; 144(1):54-8.

ABSTRACT: Socioeconomic differences in perinatal health decreased in Finland in the late 1990s. Whether the decreasing socioeconomic differences in perinatal health observed in Finland in the late 1990s have continued in 2000-6 was studied. The data were based on 965 443 births and 931 285 singletons recorded between 1991 and 2006 in the Finnish Medical Birth Register. Information on socioeconomic position was based on maternal occupation. Perinatal health was measured with six different indicators. The proportions of preterm, low birthweight and SGA (small-for-gestational-age) births remained stable during the study period, but decreased for LGA (large-for-gestational-age) births and perinatal death. After adjustment for maternal background variables, the socioeconomic differences in preterm and low-birthweight births decreased in the late 1990s and remained low thereafter. In 2003-6, blue-collar workers had a 14% (95% CI 7% to 22%) higher risk for preterm birth and a 25% (95% CI 16% to 34%) higher risk for low birthweight than upper white-collar workers. For SGA, the socioeconomic differences remained unchanged, and the excess risk for blue-collar workers was 44% (95% CI 31% to 58%) in 2003-6. For LGA, the socioeconomic differences increased, and the highest excess risks were obtained among lower white-collar (23%, 95% CI 15% to 33%) and blue-collar workers (24%, 95% CI 14% to 36%). The differences in perinatal mortality decreased until the late 1990s, but increased thereafter. In 2003-6, lower white-collar and blue-collar workers had the highest excess risks: 46% (95% CI 20% to 77%) and 44% (95% CI 13% to 83%), respectively. The trends in social inequality in perinatal health outcomes were diverging by indicator. The positive trend on diminishing socioeconomic differences found in the 1990s seems to have come to an end.Journal of epidemiology and community health 03/2009; 63(6):420-5.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to identify how many women treated for infertility had an abortion history, as well as when those abortions were carried out, and for what reasons. Data on all women treated in Finland from 1996-1998 for infertility either with IVF (n = 9175) or ovulation induction (OI, n = 10,254) and the age-matched controls of IVF women were linked to the Abortion and Hospital Discharge Registers for the period 1969-2000. A notable proportion of IVF women (12%) and OI women (11%) had previous induced abortion(s). Practically all abortions were for social or age reasons. Most IVF women (72% of n = 1099) had their most recent abortion more than 10 years previous to fertility treatment, but more recently among OI women (45% of n = 1123 of the most recent abortions were in the preceding 10 years). Many IVF- and OI women were young and single at the time of the most recent abortion. At the time of IVF treatment most women were aged over 30 and married; OI women were also frequently married, but 42% of them were aged younger than 30. At different points in their life, women may rely on opposite fertility regulation strategies. Health care professionals providing IVF need to consider the possibility of a previous abortion. Young women need information on the possibility of future infertility in later age.Human Reproduction 07/2008; 23(6):1320-3. DOI:10.1093/humrep/den101 · 4.59 Impact Factor
Article: Does hormone replacement therapy affect the use of prescription medicines in postmenopausal women: experience from the Estonian Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy Trial [ISRCTN35338757][Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine how postmenopausal hormone therapy (HRT) is related to the use of other prescription medication. Follow up of a randomised controlled trial with a blind subtrial of hormone therapy versus placebo and a nonblind subtrial of open label hormone therapy versus nontreatment. A total of 1823 postmenopausal women aged 50-64 at the time of sampling participated in the trial from 1999 to 2004. Use of prescription medication was identified by records in the central computerised database of the Estonian Health Insurance Fund. The use of 21 classes of prescription medication was compared in the hormone therapy arms and placebo or nontreatment trial arms. The influence of women's socio-economic characteristics on the intensity of concomitant medication use was also examined. The proportion of women using any prescription medication besides hormone therapy did not differ between the arms. However, the type of prescribed drugs varied between the arms. After combining data from both hormone therapy arms, for women using HRT the combined hazard ratio was 1.26 (95% CI: 1.05-1.53) for the use of calcium channel blockers, 1.48 (95% CI: 1.10-1.99) for local vaginal treatment, 0.70 (95% CI: 0.50-0.99) for hypnotics and sedatives and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.60-0.99) for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Women who were older, who had a higher body mass index, who were unemployed and who lived outside the capital used more prescription drugs in comparison with others. Hormone therapy did not increase the overall use of prescription medication other than hormone therapy, but the types of drugs used in hormone therapy and nontherapy arms varied, with increased use of calcium channel blockers for hypertension and local vaginal treatments for vaginal candidiasis and decreased use of hypnotics, sedatives and SSRIs in the HRT arms.BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology 06/2007; 114(5):548-54.

ABSTRACT: The use of expensive infertility treatments is increasing rapidly. To compare the prenatal and neonatal health care costs after IVF and spontaneous conception, we conducted a study based on a cohort of IVF and control pregnancies and neonates. A cohort of 215 IVF mothers and 255 IVF neonates were compared with a cohort of 662 control mothers and 388 control children, randomly chosen from the Finnish Medical Birth Register and matched for sex, year of birth, area of residence, parity, maternal age, socioeconomic status and plurality. The analyses on prenatal and neonatal costs were performed by plurality. Singletons were also compared with twins. The cost calculations were based on the known level of utilization of maternal and neonatal health care services. The total health care costs for an IVF singleton until the end of the neonatal period were 5780 and 15 580 for an IVF twin. The health care costs were 1.3-fold for IVF singletons and 1.1-fold for IVF twins compared to control singletons and twins. The costs for twins were approximately 3-fold compared to singletons. The health care costs of an IVF singleton neonate were higher than those of a spontaneously conceived control neonate with similar backgrounds. For twins the health care costs were equal. Multiple births increase the health care costs and therefore the reduction of multiple pregnancies is the most effective way to reduce the health care costs resulting from IVF.Human Reproduction 01/2005; 19(12):2798-805.

ABSTRACT: To study secular trends in average pregnancy weight gain between the 1960s and 2000 in Finland, and whether the changes were related to body mass index (BMI), age or parity. Three cross-sectional population surveys in Finland from three different periods. Women who were pregnant in Helsinki in the period 1954-1963 (N=2262), or in Tampere in the period 1985-1986 (N=1771) or in 2000-2001 (N=371). Pregnancy weight gain was determined from self-reported prepregnancy weight and measured weights during pregnancy. The mean age and prepregnancy BMI of all pregnant women increased between the 1960s and 2000 (from 26.5 to 29.6 y, from 21.9 to 23.7 kg/m(2)). The mean pregnancy weight gain, adjusted for mother's age, BMI and parity, increased from the 1960s to the mid-1980s from 13.2 to 14.3 kg. The increase was observed in all BMI categories. Compared to the 1960 cohort, the proportion of women with a pregnancy weight gain of less than 10 kg decreased and the proportion of women with a weight gain of 15 kg or more increased in the 1980 cohort. After the mid-1980s, the average pregnancy weight gain remained the same. In all cohorts, overweight women gained least weight during pregnancy, but age and parity were not associated with BMI and parity-/age-adjusted pregnancy weight gain. Higher pregnancy weight gain was associated with higher mean child's birthweight and higher proportion of high birthweight babies in all cohorts. The mean pregnancy weight gain has increased since the 1960s, which may be of importance with regard to the development of later obesity. Factors other than changes in prepregnancy BMI, age and parity must explain the increased pregnancy weight gain over time.International Journal of Obesity 01/2004; 27(12):1572-7.

Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Nassau County Museum of Art's STILL LIFE: 1970s PHOTOREALISM Exhibition
STILL LIFE: 1970s Photorealism will be on view at the Nassau County Museum of Art, July 19 to November 9, 2014, featuring works by Audrey Flack, Ralph Goings, Duane Hanson, Malcolm Morley, Ben Schonzeit, Idelle Weber and more. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the exhibition!
Still Life displays works associated with Photorealism-a movement comprising painters who took photography as their subject and sculptors who recreated the human body with surprising accuracy. A significant trend in art of the 1970s, Photorealism has sometimes been described since then as a more mechanical offshoot of 1960's Pop art. However, the works in Still Life make a compelling argument that Photorealists captured life in the 1970s with a grittier honesty than has previously been acknowledged. These works have renewed relevance as the ability of photography to capture "the real" has undergone dramatic changes and continues to develop in unanticipated ways.
Among the leading artists whose work is included in Still Life are Audrey Flack, Ralph Goings, Duane Hanson, Malcolm Morley, Ben Schonzeit and Idelle Weber.
This exhibition was organized at the Yale University Art Gallery by Cathleen Chaffee, now curator at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. The museum will present a full schedule of related public programs that will serve to enhance and amplify the experience of the exhibition. Among programs are a July 26 talk by the exhibition's curator, Cathleen Chafee, Ph.D.; a September 20 talk by artist Ben Schonzeit whose work Giummo is in the exhibition; an October 25 talk by Charles A. Riley II, Ph.D. on the representation of reality in the arts; and three lunchtime talks about the exhibition by Docent Riva Ettus-August 14, September 18 and October 23). Additionally, the museum is screening Chuck Close: Close Up each day at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The lunchtime talks and the screenings are free with museum admission.
For further information or to register for programs, call (516) 484-9337 or log onto nassaumuseum.org/events.

The U.S. government likes to do things its own way. Along those lines, it has decided to embrace Android as a smartphone platform for soldiers and other government employees because of the control it can exert over the software, which in turn underscores how much control Android partners have over the software.
CNN reports that government has decided to use a special version of Android on commercially available Android phones as a way of letting its employees take advantage of the mobile computing revolution. Officials interviewed for the report discuss things as novel as soldiers being able to see the positions of fellow troops on the equivalent of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, as opposed to a more heavily modified phone like the BlackBerry used by President Obama.
Government IT professionals prefer Android because they can modify it as they see fit, according to the report. Apparently they reached out to Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) in hopes of gaining the same access to iOS, but Apple declined, which is surprising to absolutely no one.
But, as GigaOm pointed out, the government said it would be able to update its Android phones within two weeks of a new software release by Google (NSDQ: GOOG). Again: just two weeks to get a heavily modified build of the software designed for national security purposes working with a new operating system release.
The wireless carriers and handset makers who claim they need months and months to update their own Android phones with new releases should be embarrassed, either at their inability to provide updates to customers or by how obvious it is that they'd rather sell you a new phone than update your current one. This is one of the few cases where "good enough for government work" might actually be better than the standard.


text: CONSTRUCT / MIX FOUR / Paul Murphy by CONSTRUCT published on 2013/04/24 12:17:35 +0000 – Welcome to the fourth in the Construct Mix Series, an irregular series of DJ mixes devoted to the world beyond the dancefloor. From experimental electronics and dark ambient to psychedelic pop and blissed-out indie, the direction of each mix is completely of the artist's choosing. In keeping with the series' broad remit, featured selectors will include label owners, journalists, promoters and collectors as well as DJs and producers. Mix Four comes from renowned producer, DJ and head of the wonderful Claremont 56 label, Paul Murphy... We hope you enjoy... – Paul Murphy (Claremont 56) – Paul Murphy aka Mudd has been DJing for 21 years and producing for 17 of those. His first release, as part of Akwaaba in 1995, 'Just Pilau' (on The Idjut Boys Discfunction label) was his entry into the mid 90's nu disco era. 'Just Pilau' was an instant classic and got quickly licensed to Francois Kevorkian's 'Essential Mix' compilation and Ron Trent's 'Musical Reflections' album. This success set the band up to release two acclaimed albums, 'Do it Tomorrow' and 'Too Shiny' with remixes following for Tummy Touch, Strut, Bear Funk and Session Records. Akwaaba split in 2003 and Mudd went on to record his first solo album, 'Claremont 56' for Rong Music and followed this by setting up his own label, also titled 'Claremont 56' with the first release by Mudd & Pollard, 'Villa Stavros'. 40 or so releases later, Claremont 56 is going strong, with a discography including the sell-out compilation series, 'Originals' and unreleased mixes of Holger Czukay's epic back catalogue of works. In his own recording career, Mudd has been one half of Smith & Mudd since 2000, working alongside partner Benjamin James Smith. The balearic classic 'Shulme' was their first vinyl release and was voted no 1 track of the year by the DJ History Forum in 2006. Two albums followed, 'Blue River' and 'Le Suivant' and the duo have continued to mix their influences and lead the way in the modern day balearic scene. Mudd's latest project, 'BISON', also formed with Benjamin James Smith, includes krautrock legend, Holger Czukay from 'Can' and Salvatore Principato from the cult NY 80's band 'Liquid Liquid'. Their first single 'Way to LA' has already become a downtempo classic and the second, 'Soup Fiction' is sure to follow. Mudd has also worked with Jazz drumming legend, Chico Hamilton on the release 'Kerry's Caravan' and Ahmed Fakroun, a pioneer of modern Arabic world music, on 'Drago'. He is also working on a new live band project with Bing Ji Ling and Patrick Dawes from Groove Armada on an album project called 'Paqua'. Mudd has DJ'ed across the world and recently has played at Seco in Japan, Stockholms award winning club night 'Slow Blow', Lux in Portugal, Harvey's Sarcastic Disco in LA, PS1 festival at MoMa New York and has been a regular feature on London's club scene playing at Fabric, 333, The Cross and the Horse & Groom. – ABOUT THE MIX – 'James asked me to contribute a mix to the series probably over a year ago now, thankfully he has the patience of a saint as it took me this long to finally get it done. It was nice to have a dig around in some piles that I haven't looked at for a while and here's the result. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed doing it!' – TRACKLISTING – There is no tracklisting available for this mix – FURTHER READING – Claremont 56 / Website http://www.claremont56.com Test Pressing / 20 Questions with Paul Murphy http://testpressing.org/2012/06/20-questions-005-paul-mudd-murphy-claremont-56/ Resident Advisor / Label Of The Month http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1165 Claremont 56 / Discogs http://www.discogs.com/label/Claremont%2056 – www.constructindustries.com

iOS 4.0.1 coming today?
iPhoneHellas.gr is claiming they've heard Apple will release iOS 4 later today. They've gotten that kind of stuff right before, and Apple does have an iPhone 4 press conference scheduled for tomorrow, so the timing would make some sense. iOS 4.0.1 being released would mean the changes to the way bars are shown and reported in the developer beta for iOS 4.1 would be public and could be stated as such by Apple.
It would be a couple weeks earlier than Apple's usual end of July/beginning of August iOS x.0.1 update cycle, but likely welcome by those suffering proximity sensor issues and other iOS 4 bugs.
Ping us if you're iTunes catches an update.

iOS 4.0.1 coming today?
Was under the impression 4.1 was supposed to have the signal strength fixes from reading other sites.
Is this TiPB or the dating game?
For proximity sensor issues you might need a replacement. I saw the Giz article and I went in yesterday to get my phone swapped. I looked for the proximity sensor on my old phone and couldn't find it but on this new phone I spotted it at first glance. I however still have the antenna issue. I haven't made a call so I don't know if the Proximity sensor issue is actually fixed with this replacement.
Glad the good ol' USA is beta testing before iPhone4 get released in Canada. All these issues should be fixed by then!! Thanks!
What did Apple know and when did they know it?
And did AT&T tell them?
If that's the only thing they are "fixing" then they can keep the update. I like seeing my 5 bars right where they are, thanks. Now the proximity sensor, I might update for. I'm really enjoying the phone, but all this problem talk is putting a damper on my fun. This is still the best phone I have ever had and I'm not returning it.
@speed steve does a recall and instead of fixing phones he just sends them to Canada with a note inside that says "y'all don't matter eh!". America gets all new coated phones that work.
But for real there needs to be an update, since 4.0 I haven't had YouTube work or alerts for any app like facebook, aim, AT&T my wireless etc. I even restored to new.
The way Apple handles things in the past they will more likely act like there hasn't been any bad PR and that no one is actually talking bad about the iPhone 4 lol. Seriously Apple acts like the govt in some ways with the whole plausible deniability and whatnot.
I bet tomorrow they just mention all the so called issues in passing like it's not a big deal, praise the magical, phenominal, spectacular, amazing, wonderful, best smartphone on the planet iPhone 4 as the marvel that it is. And how so Manu iPhone 4 users love it etc etc.
And oh by the way we are going to do something that is even more phenominal and amazing and magical that no one has ever done before for our iPhone 4 customers. And then from there we will find out what the magical, amazing, spectacular, stellar thing they will for iPhone 4 customers lol.
Aside from all that. Where I live there is definitely a weak signal. And when I even so much as put a flesh of finger on that band on the lower left hand side. The signal nearly crashes. Other than that the phone works pretty well. No proximity issues for me or yellow screen or anything of that sort. It's a really nice phone except for the reception problem.
I've bought a form fitting case for it. Couldn't bring myself to get one of those bumpers. I don't like how they look. The firm fitting case came in the mail today but at my work. I'm off today lol. I have still been using my 3GS anyway so it doesn't matter. I activated my iPhone 4 so that I could test it, make sure it worked, make sure it wasn't defective. Of course mine suffers the antennae issue but that seems to be all that it suffers from.
Than I bought a micro sim adapter and swapped the sim into my 3GS. Works like a charm. I then went to my local iPhone fixit guys and had a new battery swapped in since this battery was a year old and I decided to keep the 3GS as a back up phone. First time I ever decided to do that cause I usually sell my previous model. It's also jailbroken and works extremely well on FW3.1.2 with the 3.1.3 faker app from Cydia.
Needless to say once the iPhone 4 jailbreak is released I will THEN make the permanent switch to my iPhone 4. However, in the oft chance that Apple actually recalls the iPhone 4 or offers some sort of program to go to a local Apple store and have currently released iPhone 4 treated with some sort of coating I will not hesitate to have my phone treated or whatever. I haven't attempted to use my new case yet. I will tomorrow. Just see how the reception issues are affected.
But to be more direct I was curious to see how a simple piece of paper towel would make the antennae react and I pit that between my hand and the black strip. And there was no drop in service or bars. So surely the defect does exist. I performed this test alongside the speedtest.net iPhone app with and without the piece of paper towel. If a piece of paper towel can make a difference like that this has to be a real problem.
I understand there are people not experiencing the same problem. But then I also understand that this might be because those people are in stronger signaled areas. My signal area for home and work SUCKS! So I definitely see a decrease when the band is covered by my flesh. I'm right handed though. So not too big a deal.
I tested the iPhone 4's call quality during a rainy day and the call was clear and didn't drop. I was impressed. My 3GS more than likely would bot have survived the call. But then it has surprised me on occasion. Anyway, I've said my piece haha. Thanks for reading. ^^ ~sorry for any typos~ •typed from my iPhone 3GS•
4.0.1 is live.
I think that update for today is fake. they r going to add 5 more bars to the phone so 10instead of 5 so if u lost 5 bars u r going to still have 5
@gquaglia - Is it TRULY a defect, or just bad product design?
Unless you have 100% of the people that own a product reporting the same problem, or at the very least a simple majority, I don't think you can classify it as a defect and deception.
While I agree that Apple needs to do something, lawsuits don't solve anything other than lining the pockets of lawyers that troll for class-action lawsuits. Take a look at any class-action settlement and see who gets the majority of the proceeds - the legal firm(s) that filed the lawsuit. If my iPhone 4 was giving me issues, I'd want it fixed/replaced - and not by lining someone else's pockets.
I've had my iPhone 4 since release day, and I've not had any problems with signal strength or dropped calls - with AND without a case. I'm not sure if that puts me in the minority or not.
Got it.

Amy Lowell was born in 1874 on her family's estate, Sevenels, in Brookline, Massachusetts. The youngest of five children, she developed an affection for books and a love of reading and writing at an early age. Lowell and her mother, Katherine, composed and published a book of stories and poetry called Dream Drops; or, Stories from Fairyland in 1887. While she seemed diligent in her studies of literature, Lowell's schoolteachers reported her as undisciplined and a troublemaker, teasing her classmates and disrespecting those in authority.
