"CRH's vision is to be the leading building materials business in the world"
Europe Heavyside's strategic goal is to be the leading vertically integrated heavyside business in Europe, building leading regional positions in businesses that have the potential to grow further in the large European construction markets. With a balanced approach to demand exposure, product penetration and maximising the benefits of scale and best practice, our business is well differentiated in the marketplace. Enhanced alignment and collaboration leads to value creation throughout our extensive network of well-invested facilities across the division.
Europe Heavyside comprises cement, aggregates, asphalt and concrete operations organised into two regional divisions: Western Europe, which includes primarily Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, France, Denmark, Ireland and Spain; and Eastern Europe which includes Poland, Ukraine and Finland. The business model of vertical integration is founded in resource-backed cement and aggregates assets, which support the manufacture and supply of cement, aggregates, readymixed and precast concrete, concrete landscaping and asphalt products. As a result, extending reserves is an ongoing process and a key focus for the Heavyside business. We place great emphasis on performance improvement initiatives across the business and seek to create value through optimisation of the asset base, maximising Group synergies and leveraging commercial and operational excellence. The scale of our operations provides economies in purchasing and logistics management and our commitment to sustainability is evidenced by greater use of alternative fuels and the manufacture of low carbon cements.
The Europe Heavyside development strategy is currently focused on integration of our recent acquisitions, maximising the synergies to be gained. We remain focused on bolt-on acquisitions for synergies, reserves and further vertical integration, in addition to opportunities in contiguous regions to extend and strengthen regional positions.
Our portfolio is managed through a focus on value creation, with a strong pipeline of opportunities across regions, including developing markets in Eastern Europe that offer long-term growth potential. As part of CRH's ongoing strategy to optimise our portfolio, Europe Heavyside completed a total of 14 divestments in 2015, including the
disposal of its 25% equity interest in Mashav, the holding company for the sole producer of cement in Israel, in December 2015.
In total Europe Heavyside employs approximately 16,100 people at close to 700 locations in 19 countries.
CRH has established strategic footholds in China and India over the last eight years. Our strategy is to build select leading regional positions to enable us to benefit from industrialisation, urbanisation and population growth in these developing economies over the coming decades.
The Group has a 26% stake in associate Yatai Building Materials, which is a market leader in building materials in Northeast China. In India, we have a 50% Joint Venture with My Home Industries Limited ("MHIL") which is a leading player in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In 2013, we also opened a regional headquarters in Singapore.
CRH operations in China and India employ circa 10,000 people.

The official program runs from 6 PM, Sept. 14 to 1:30 PM, Sept. 16. There are a wide range of experiential events built around the official agenda, including optional events (*) and the Costa Navarino Weekend (**). You will find the full agenda below.
What will the outcome of the imminent U.S. election mean for the rest of the world?
Moderator: Alexis Papahelas, executive editor, Kathimerini
Presented by the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and Symeon G. Tsomokos S.A.
VENUE: Grande Bretagne Hotel
The 'hypothetical' format is inspired by the Harvard Business School case method, and the legacy of the televised Fred Friendly Seminars which added a new dimension to public broadcasting on PBS for over 30 years. Geoffrey Robertson Q.C. will propose a series of hypothetical dilemmas and moderate a lively discussion among the panelists, who will be invited to contribute their expertise as they confront the issues presented. The session will aim to highlight a number of challenges to democracy by exploring the key issues in an entertaining and witty discussion.
Moderator: Geoffrey Robertson QC, founder, Doughty Street Chambers
VENUE: Zappeion - Peristilio
In Europe, the vast influx of refugees from Islamic countries has sparked an often bitter debate about identity and inclusiveness. In the United States, illegal immigrants have become a key issue in the presidential race. Elsewhere around the world, the millions fleeing repression, violence or poverty has overwhelmed refugee services.
Moderator: Roger Cohen, Op-Ed columnist, The New York Times
Voters in countries including Russia, Turkey, Hungary or Egypt have enthusiastically backed authoritarian leaders. Many reasons for this are evidently at play: a longing for stability, corruption, a sense of estrangement from the political process, and ignorance about democracy. Are established democracies right to condemn these tendencies, or are they a valid democratic choice?
Moderator: Alison Smale, Berlin bureau chief, The New York Times
Is democracy good for business, and is business good for democracy? Do the inclusive institutions of democracy promote entrepreneurship, leading to more growth and job creation, or do they constrain it? Are entrepreneurs a natural constituency for democratic change, or do they use their power and influence to shape the rules of the game in their favor?
The time-honored principles in liberal democracies on the separation of church and state and on freedom of worship is challenged by devout believers who disagree with civic dress codes, or same-sex marriage, or military duty.
Moderator: Serge Schmemann, member of the editorial board, The New York Times
Hosted by Yorgos Kaminis, mayor, City of Athens
VENUE: Romaiki Agora
VENUE: National Library of Greece
Presented by the Transatlantic Debating Championship.
VENUE: University of Athens
Chair: Lucas Papademos, vice president, Academy of Athens and former prime minister of Greece
Moderator: Liz Alderman, chief European business correspondent, International New York Times
VENUE: Academy of Athens
Take a guided tour of original works dating from the 17th-19th centuries, while discovering the fascinating history behind them.
Can architecture be democratic? What
determines democratic architecture? Can a profession, perceived sometimes as
elitist and even authoritarian, create architecture "for the people" and "by
the people?"
Moderator: Roger Cohen, Op-Ed columnist, The New York Times
An opportunity to discuss important modern-day issues through the prism of ancient Greek philosophy in the idyllic Messinian countryside.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 Xbox 360
- Publisher: EA Sports
- Release Date: Mar 26, 2013
- Also On: PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Apr 9, 2013Legends of the Masters dips into the sport's past, drawing on the power of its players and its history for one of the PGA Tour's best new features in recent years. Much of the rest of the additions, however, have little or no impact. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is decent, but do we really need another EA golf game?
Apr 16, 2013Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is the best golf game on consoles but is far from being perfect, with few additions to the formula that introduce new problems. The game needs a deep reboot to shine again!
Apr 8, 2013The smart online modes and novelty of Legends Of The Majors do enough to justify a sequel, in what's a solid if unspectacular edition of the long-running Tiger Woods series.
Apr 8, 2013Tiger Woods 14 continues the EA Sports trend of iterating a winning formula, presenting a solid package which people will flock to buy, just like last year and the year before that. EA have made the right move by downplaying the Tiger part of Tigers Woods 14 but sadly we still see an awful lot of DLC and very little in the way of pushing the franchise forward to new heights. If you are a fan of the franchise then you know what you are getting with a new version and if you are a newbie then this is as good a place as any to start.
Apr 4, 2013It's just a shame that the game doesn't do more to make newcomers feel as welcome.
Mar 27, 2013Still an excellent game of golf. I am a huge fan of the new Legends of the Majors modes. It has a ton of content and is one of the better pick up and play modes in a sports game. Although not a major update, if you're in the mood for more golf or may have missed a couple of Tiger Woods outings, this is a great one to jump back into.
Mar 26, 2013Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 isn't a bad game but a particular lack of attention to detail and several glitchy errors temper what marginal improvements there are over previous versions. The new features that are here are the typical EA "fresh coat of paint" that many of their sports games receive.
Apr 11, 2013To EA's credit, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 --like all the PGA Tour games before it-- is still a very good game. But perhaps the imminent next generation of consoles will see the series receiving the overhaul it needs.
X-ONE Magazine UKApr 23, 2013This year's effort comprises a lot of recycled, poorly implemented and buggy content, some of which is locked behind a pay-to-bypass grind wall. You can't charge 50 quid for that. [Issue#97, p.68]

Aug 7, 2013This game is real fun if your a golf fan. It copies the game modes of NBA 2k 12 by delving into the history of golf which is interestingThis game is real fun if your a golf fan. It copies the game modes of NBA 2k 12 by delving into the history of golf which is interesting information and visually appealing to experience. It falls just a tad short because it doesn't actually PLAY any differently regardless of how the clubs are named.
All the standard modes are back from the last 75 Tiger Woods games so it does feel a bit "samey" and like they are running out of ideas with what to do
Career Mode is still way too easy to become number 1 at and the Fed Ex cup ranking is a joke because realistically golfers win 2 or 3 tournaments a year but your created golfer can win tons.
Winning tournaments ti unlock gear is kinda fun but does away with making money through the season interesting at all. Since you don't buy your gear with money made from tournaments, the money is irrelevant now
Online play is cool but to not include courses that are part of the 2013 season without paying an extra fee seems like a cheap moneygrab and makes it seem like an unfinished game as my created golfer had to repeat a course or skip it all together which is frustrating,
What I really want in these Tiger Woods games is the chance to play and watch computer controlled players that are part of my tee time for each individual round. It would make the game feel less lonely offline and make you feel part of a tour of players more than just one guy goin around a course.
If my tee time is scheduled with Mickelson and Poulter, I want to have to option to play the round with them as NPC's dang it
All in all though it is fun enough and buying a Tiger Woods game once every 2 or 3 years isnt a bad idea… Full Review »
Mar 28, 2013Finally a golf game you can sink your teeth into with a proper simulation mode. What they have done with draws/fades, penal roughs, andFinally a golf game you can sink your teeth into with a proper simulation mode. What they have done with draws/fades, penal roughs, and smooth putting finally makes you feel like you are in between the ropes of the PGA Tour. The Connected Tournaments add much needed life to live tourneys allowing you to play either with a group of friends or strangers. Graphics are improved, the Legends are a nice historical add-on including the ability to play the Augusta National course as it was in 1934. This version has the potential to be the best TW game ever in it's run going back to PS1 days. A must purchase for the golf fan, the simulation fan, or anyone with an interest in getting away from blowing things up and just having a nice relaxing stroll with some friends.… Full Review »
Mar 27, 2013Minimal Upgrade over Tiger Woods 13. They added night golf, big deal. Threw a sepia tone over St. Andrews and called it Historical Mode.Minimal Upgrade over Tiger Woods 13. They added night golf, big deal. Threw a sepia tone over St. Andrews and called it Historical Mode. Added Simulation mode which is the same as last year's controls except you move your joystick diagonal instead of vertically. Added a a few new courses. Online play is riddled with bugs such as wrong stats, bad camera angles, no tags showing who is shooting. There is no new commentary. It's not worth 60 or 70 bucks.… Full Review »

In this podcast, Ricardo makes his retrospective of 2013. Again, a year with mixed feelings. A good year for some, a tough one for others.

Strange pranks are being played on dancer Jimmy Sutane, star of London's Argosy Theatre. When they spread to the Sutanes' country estate, it becomes apparent that someone wants Jimmy's famous feet to tap their final dance. Campion never dreamed the big show-stopper would be murder--and a case that promises to test his mind and break his heart.
About the Author
Along with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers, Margery Allingham is ranked among one of the most distinguished and beloved detective fiction writers of the 'Golden Age'. Agatha Christie herself praised Margery Allingham, saying that out of all the detective stories she remembers, Margerty Allingham's 'stand out like a shining light'. Born in London in 1904, Margery published her first novel, Blackkerchief Dick, at the age of 19. The White Cottage Mystery was her first detective story, written as a serial for the Daily Express in 1927 and published as a book a year later.

Bane @ Nile Theater
Bane's fan base is a bit like Matthew McConaughey's philosophy in Dazed and Confused: They get older; the moshers stay the same age. "When you're young, you get that feeling that you can take on the world and that music can drive a revolution," says vocalist Aaron Bedard. "Once you get into your 30s, it gets a little harder to take a Wednesday night to see a hardcore band." For the members of Bane, the weeknight-rock-and-cramped-van residency is a way of life. "Even though we're getting older and probably past the expiration date of hardcore bands, we still love it so much . . . We really have a good time doing it," says Bedard. The band hasn't released an album since 2005, instead focusing on performing old favorites for an evolving fanbase. "We'll play super-old songs like 'Count Me Out' or 'Both Guns Blazing,' and I see kids sing all the words, and it makes me feel really, really good," Bedard says, "God damn, we wrote those songs so long ago, but we can still open a set with them."

"I don't think it's too late," said Noel Desch. Desch was Town of Ithaca Supervisor at the time when that town instituted town-wide municipal sewer. He argued for 12-A sewer (a sewer district paid for by those property owners within the service area) even when the rest of the committee members argued that a 12-A sewer would be too expensive with annual costs per EDU (Equivalent Dwelling Unit) in the range of $800. "I think the mistake we made was not getting out to the people who need sewer and saying 'here's what it's going to cost. How do you feel about it?'"
A perceived split between old Lansing in the north and new Lansing in the south was thought to be a factor in the project's failure to come to a vote. Many people in the southern part of the town have Ithaca zip codes and feel more a part of Ithaca than the town. Those in the rural north of town tend to be the latest of generations of their families who have lived in the town, some for over 200 years.
"You have people in the south who are not really invested in the town and what's happening in the community," said Andy Sciarabba. "They can afford taxes going up. They're not vocal. They don't get involved in various issues. Then you have the group from the North, basically the old town group that grew up here, went to school here. They don't want to see the town change. They don't believe what you tell them. They're anti-development. Anything on a town-wide basis will never fly."
Most committee members agreed a schism has opened in the town roughly between North and South Lansing. Some said that a larger committee that included some North Lansing residents might have been preferable.
"I see the future is that South Lansing probably will force that issue of providing municipal sewer," said CJ DelVecchio. "But North Lansing will never do that -- I don't see it ever happening."
Desch said sewer would be forced onto the town by residents who are desperate to get it.
"You're going to get a large area of the Town of Lansing sewered under 12-A," Desch said. "By the end of that 20 year period you're going to have those 12-A districts transferred to a 12-C because you're going to have additional areas of the town that see the benefit of it and will become participants. And they'll vote for it. But right now there's no way, if you went to a vote on 12-C, that you'd get the vote."
Andy Sciarabba disagreed. He said he doesn't envision sewer districts popping up around town because of the high cost. He said that a town-wide sewer was only proposed after it became clear that a self-contained sewer district in which only property-owners within the district would pay was too expensive.
Committee members largely agreed that communication was a problem. CJ DelVecchio said it would have been worth it to hire professional communications expert to better communicate the benefits of the project. She lamented the large volume of misinformation that spread around the town, blaming it for what she called Lansing's overwhelming status quo. Councilwoman Ruth Hopkins said that it also would have been valuable to have a professional planner who would chair the committee and lead the process.
"We tried to do a very large project without a professional planner on staff," she said. "I don't think you can do it. We need the continuity of the same planner, someone with professional training, someone who could have carried this committee and helped facilitate the meetings and the notes and the outreach and the marketing. That's who does it."
Dale Baker also said that opening the meetings to the public hurt the project because the committee couldn't kick around ideas in private that might or might not end up in the final project without the public thinking interim thoughts were an actual project. Town Attorney Guy Krogh said that town committee meetings are not required to be open.
"Lots of committees in lots of different towns have found that being open to the public has caused them to fail," Krogh said.
Baker expressed concern that residents in South Lansing who want sewer may push to become part of the Village of Lansing, which has a village-wide sewer system. He also said with no firm plan for the town center land there was confusion about what would go there and why. He noted that the committee really never learned how a vote would have turned out because anti-sewer residents were so outspoken.
"We don't know how large the pro-sewer group was, because they weren't vocal," said Baker.
Committee members agreed that the process seemed rushed, noting that elements like the Lansing Central School District's failing septic systems and the NYS juvenile detention facility being pressured by the state to replace its package plant gave a sense of urgency to the project that may have made some people feel the project was being forced on townspeople. Ironically a $2.537 million state grant that would have covered nearly a quarter of the project cost also put pressure on the project because it could be revoked by the State if a project didn't materialize expediently.
Desch continued to predict that sewer will come, but it will be citizen-driven rather than town-driven.
"I don't think it's over," said Desch. "You have a lot of property owners that need sewer. The people who need sewer should petition the Town for a 12-A election. They can do that. if you put the petition together and get property owners in specific areas to submit it, the Town Board has no choice but to hold an election to provide sewer to those areas. If you get that vote with a petition you're going to make it whether it's 800 or less, because those people are going to spend a lot more than $800 per year on the systems they have to put in."
Sciarabba saw a different vision in which private parties put in their own sewer systems where needed in the town.
"Anything on a town-wide basis is never going to fly," he said. "I think we ought to encourage private systems. Put in a septic system. Put in a package plant. Sell the (town center land) across the street (from the town ballfields). Let them do those things. Because we still need the tax base and we still need basic services."
Committee members felt there was no clear direction set by the Town Board, and despite some board members attending meetings the board as a whole never set a clear agenda or rallied to support a project. Sciarabba, who chairs the Lansing Economic Development Committee, said he is experiencing the same syndrome on a committee with no clear mission. That committee was able to establish a business incentive zone with the Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency (IDA), but since then there have been no businesses to be incentivized, in large part because of ambiguity about what the town wants in a town center and a wait-and-see attitude about sewer.
Binkewicz thanked the members for more than a year and a half of volunteer service. The committee was officially dissolved at the August Town Board meeting.

In celebration of its new NY headquarters, Burberry lit the cityscape with bright lights and a fashionable soiree filled with bubbly and a guest list PR people would kill for. There were a ton of looks to choose from, but I narrowed it down to five. Lily Donaldson showed off her stems in a white chiffon minidress; Alexa Chung styled her printed sheath with a belt and blazer; Leigh Lezark looked sexy stealth in a ruched eggplant frock and sharp heels; Claire Danes accessorized her gray dress with bold adornments; and Blake Lively looked cunning in a loose blazer and mini. All Burberry, all beautiful. Divulge: which Bailey supporter do you prefer?
Around The Web
I love love LOVE Lily's look!!!!! Definitely my favorite. Claire also looks great.
I like Lily's dress, but don't like the combo with the black tights.
Alexa! There's a stylish quirkiness that just catches your eye...
I voted for Lily. I don't like any of the other outfits.
Said the 3rd but none of them is fabulous, they are all just pretty like this....
Everyone looks cute, especially Claire and Lily :)

Stream, Stream, Stream: 2x SP 8.4-8.10
First a look at the running totals through half of week 16:
31-21 record
Here's a look at this week's recs, with team wOBA in parentheses:
Kevin Gausman – 4.4% ESPN/14% Y!/56% own, 31% start CBS – @WAS (.310), v. STL (.305)
As a brief aside, it's a bit odd to see the Cardinals offense that far down — 21st among MLB in wOBA — but in the end that's part of what makes Gausman such a favorable option this week. Gausman has done a very nice job for the Orioles this year, especially given how many times he's been up and down — he's only made three of his ten starts this year on regular four days rest. The strikeout deficiency (6.0 per nine/15.8 percent) is a bit odd for someone whose average fastball checks in at 95.2 mph, and even more so when considering his solid forkball (20.7 SwStr%), but in some ways it makes sense when considering his 90 percent-plus contact rate on fastballs both in and out of the zone. A hittable fastball isn't the end of the world, but it is a bit odd when it's that hard.
Dillon Gee – 18.4% ESPN/26% Y!/72% own, 35% start CBS – v. SFG (.301), @PHI (.297)
Gee is just downright steady — 22-22 w/ 3.79 ERA over past three years and nearly 400 innings — and it surely helps to have a pair of bottom five offenses opposing him this week. It couldn't come at a better time for the right-hander, who has allowed four, six, and five earned runs in his last three starts respectively (8.10 ERA), swelling his season ERA from 2.56 to 3.77.
Phil Hughes – 26.5% ESPN/43% Y!/81% own, 44% start CBS – v. SDP (.276), @OAK (.324)
The Padres matchup is phenomenal for Hughes (last in MLB in wOBA by 20 (!) points), and it comes at home, where the right-hander is inexplicably struggling despite his flyball heavy approach. Right now, Hughes has a home ERA of 5.51, and a road ERA of 2.92. That makes this week's matchups a bit better, as he gets the punchless Pads at home before heading to the unfriendly confines of O.Co, which has a 75/95 HR park factor (and 88-93 for flyballs, for what it's worth) and a team which just traded away one of its best power threats (Yoenis Cespedes). This might be a good chance for Hughes to get back on a roll and get that ERA under 4.00.

I don't know about the rest of you out there in Reverbnation land but, I find it kind of insulting when I get new fans and they appear to have not even listened to any of my songs. How can you be a fan then? What are you a fan of? I feel it appropriate to at least listen to some of the songs of an artist that friends me or that I friend. Let's not turn this site into one of those "friend" collection sites. I want real fans.
How true. I love seeing a new fan in my mailbox... maybe that's because I don't get very many! So, I feel it's appropriate to at least listen to a few of their songs. But what happens if you get "fanned" and you want to "fan them back" but after a brief listen you have second thoughts?? Perhaps that just underlines the point my esteemed colleague (and fan) has made.

Background Recent studies suggest an increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes among young adults who were born preterm. These studies have been based mainly on hospital data, thus missing large numbers of mental health problems that do not require inpatient treatment. We used national outpatient and inpatient pharmacy data to evaluate whether individuals who were born preterm were more likely to be prescribed psychiatric medications during young adulthood than individuals who were born full term.
Methods A national cohort of all infants born in Sweden from 1973 through 1979 [N=635933, including 28799 who were born preterm (<37 weeks)] was followed to ages 25.5–34.0 years to determine whether psychotropic medications (antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives and/or psychostimulants) were prescribed in 2005–06.
Results A trend of increasing rate of prescriptions for antipsychotics, antidepressants and hypnotics/sedatives in young adulthood was observed by earlier gestational age at birth. Young adults who were extremely preterm at birth (23–27 weeks) were 3.1 times more likely to be prescribed antipsychotics [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.66–5.93], 1.8 times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants (95% CI 1.26–2.64) and 1.8 times more likely to be prescribed hypnotics/sedatives (95% CI 1.15–2.96) than individuals who were full term at birth, after adjusting for potential confounders.
Conclusions This national cohort study, using outpatient and inpatient pharmacy data, suggests that preterm birth has important independent effects on mental health that extend at least into young adulthood.
The number of infants born preterm in the USA and other developed countries has increased significantly over the past 10–20 years due in part to improvements in neonatal intensive care and decreases in perinatal morbidity and mortality.1 The high and increasing rates of premature births constitute a major public health concern as well as a large cost to society—at least $26 billion a year in the USA according to a 2006 report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.2 Improvements in neonatal care have been accompanied by increased morbidity in childhood and adolescence.3 Preterm birth has been associated with complex neurodevelopmental disabilities that become apparent in early childhood,1,4 and with a wide spectrum of educational and behavioural difficulties that become apparent at school age and may persist into adolescence.3
Although much is known about the public health burden of preterm birth in childhood and adolescence, less is known about longer-term mental health outcomes. Previous studies have provided suggestive but inconsistent results on the association between preterm birth or low birth weight and psychiatric disorders.1,5–17A recent study reported that preterm birth is associated with increased risk of psychiatric hospitalization in adolescence or early adulthood.18 That study was based on hospital discharge data, thus missing the greater number of mental illnesses that require medical treatment without hospitalization. The relationship between preterm birth and a wider spectrum of neuropsychiatric outcomes remains poorly elucidated.
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether individuals who were preterm at birth were more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications in young adulthood than individuals who were full term at birth. In order to evaluate long-term mental health effects in a broad national population, we obtained medication prescription data from nationwide outpatient as well as inpatient pharmacy records in all of Sweden.
This population-based cohort study was based on register data in a national research database, WomMed, financed by the US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and located at the Centre for Primary Health Care Research, Lund University, Sweden. This database includes annual data from prenatal and birth records, hospital admissions and death records for each mother and child in Sweden. Information on date of delivery, birthweight and length, mode of delivery and maternal and fetal complications is transferred from hospital records, together with prenatal care data, to the Swedish Medical Birth Registry, which is the main register in the WomMed Database.
The WomMed Database also contains individual-level socio-demographic information, including age, marital status, socio-economic status indicators and country of origin, collected annually starting in 1990. For the current study, socio-demographic characteristics were identified using the Swedish Population and Housing Census of 1990, the most recent census when the participants in this study (who were then 11–17 years of age) were still likely to be residing in the same household as their mothers. This census information was used to identify maternal characteristics that would reflect the social conditions of these individuals during their upbringing, and which may be associated with subsequent mental health outcomes. Socio-economic deprivation is a well-established risk factor for premature birth. To the extent that low maternal socio-economic status may have resulted from having given birth to a child prematurely, adjustment for these characteristics would be expected to bias the results conservatively, towards the null hypothesis.
Information on psychotropic medication prescriptions was obtained using a national pharmacy register maintained by the National Board of Health and Welfare. These data were linked to the national Medical Birth Register using an anonymous, serial number version of each individual's unique personal identification number. The national pharmacy register includes a record of each medication that is prescribed by a health-care provider and dispensed directly to a patient by any outpatient or inpatient pharmacy in Sweden. For inpatients, the register includes all medications prescribed and dispensed to a patient upon discharge from the hospital, but not medications directly administered to a patient during the hospital course prior to discharge. The unavailability of data for medications administered during a hospital course is non-differential with respect to preterm birth status and would also be expected to bias the results towards the null hypothesis.
All pharmacy data are categorized according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System developed by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology. We obtained information on medication prescriptions for conditions of the nervous system (code N), which were further sub-classified as antipsychotics (N05A), anxiolytics (N05B), hypnotics/sedatives (N05C), antidepressants (N06A) and psychostimulants (N06B).
A total of 699650 women and men, born 1973 through 1979, were identified in the Swedish Medical Birth Registry. For each individual, we identified the gestational age at birth based on maternal report of last menstrual period. An anonymous, serial-number version of the personal identification number of the mother (similar to the US social security number) was used to link mothers to offspring and to determine maternal age at the time of each individual's birth. A total of 11695 (1.7%) individuals died prior to 2005 (when the national pharmacy register was started) and were excluded from the current analysis. Approximately half of these deaths occurred within the first year of life. Of the remaining individuals, we excluded 39106 (5.6%) who had moved away from Sweden prior to 2005, 573 (0.1%) who had missing information on gestational age at birth and 7995 (1.2%) who had significant congenital anomalies (i.e. other than undescended testicle, preauricular appendage, congenital nevus or hip dislocation). In order to remove possible coding errors, 4342 (0.6%) individuals were excluded who had a birthweight >3 standard deviation (SD) above the mean or <6SD below the mean for gestational age and sex, and 6 (<0.01%) were excluded who had a reported gestational age <23 weeks. A total of 635933 individuals (90.9% of the original cohort) remained for inclusion in the analysis.
All study participants, born 1973 through 1979, were followed up for prescription of psychotropic medications from 1 July 2005 through 31 December 2006, the first 1.5 years that the national pharmacy register was kept. These individuals were between 25.5 and 34.0 years of age during the period of follow-up.
Infant's gestational age at birth. This variable was categorized as 23–27, 28–32, 33–34, 35–36, 37–42 (full term) and ≥43 weeks. Near-term births were stratified into finer categories (33–34 and 35–36 weeks) in order to provide more detail for this range in which there may be discretion by the physician on the timing of delivery.
Infant's date of birth. Infant's date of birth was modelled as a continuous variable. We adjusted for this to control for differences by age and for changes in prenatal or neonatal care that may have occurred during the study period.
Infant's gender. Maternal age at birth of child. Modelled as a continuous variable.
Maternal immigration status. 'Born in Sweden', 'immigrated from Finland' or 'immigrated from another country'.
Maternal marital status in 1990. 'Married/cohabiting', 'never married', 'divorced' or 'widowed'.
Maternal occupation in 1990. 'Unskilled worker', 'skilled worker', 'professional', 'white collar', 'other occupations' or 'unknown'.
Maternal income in 1990. Calculated as the mother's annual family income divided by the number of people in the family, or family income per capita, using a weighted system whereby small children are given lower weights than adolescents and adults. The final variable was categorized in quartiles.
Maternal education in 1990. 'Compulsory high school or less (≤9 years)', 'practical high school or some theoretical high school (10–11 years)' or 'theoretical high school and/or college (≥12 years)'.
Paternal education in 1990. 'Compulsory high school or less (≤9 years)', 'practical high school or some theoretical high school (10–11 years)' or 'theoretical high school and/or college (≥12 years)'.
Maternal region of residence in 1990. 'Large city', 'medium city' or 'small city or rural area'. We adjusted for this variable because it may be associated with access to prenatal care, and to psychiatric care in young adulthood.
Maternal time lived at current residence as of 1990. Dichotomized to <5 years or ≥5 years.
Maternal prescription of psychotropic medications. We adjusted for whether the mothers of the study participants were prescribed psychotropic medications (antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives and/or psychostimulants) during the follow-up period (1 July 2005 through 31 December 2006). Each of these medication groups was entered into the model separately and dichotomized to 'no prescriptions' or 'one or more prescriptions'.
Maternal hospitalization for mental disorders. We adjusted for whether the mothers of the study participants were ever hospitalized for a mental disorder (ICD-9 codes 290–319, ICD-10 codes F00–F99 or the equivalent coding in earlier ICD versions) from 1 January 1964 through 31 December 2006, dichotomized to 'never' or 'ever' hospitalized for a mental disorder.
The outcome of interest was one or more prescriptions of a psychotropic medication dispensed at any outpatient or inpatient pharmacy in Sweden during the follow-up period (1 July 2005 through 31 December 2006). This outcome was evaluated separately for each of the following medication groups: antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives and psychostimulants. In addition, we evaluated the outcome of one or more prescriptions in 'any of the above' medication groups.
We also evaluated oral contraceptive prescription as a 'control medication'. Oral contraceptive use in young adulthood would not a priori be expected to be associated with preterm birth status. If an association were found between preterm birth and psychotropic medications in young adulthood, and not between preterm birth and oral contraceptive use in young adulthood, the association with psychotropic medications would be less likely to be due to an artifact in the data or diagnostic bias among individuals who were born preterm. Oral contraceptive prescription was dichotomized as 'never' or 'ever' during the same follow-up period as above.
Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between gestational age at birth (categorized as 23–27, 28–32, 33–34, 35–36, 37–42, ≥43 weeks) and prescription of psychotropic medication (one or more vs none) in young adulthood (ages 25.5–34.0 years), using full-term birth (37–42 weeks) as the reference category. Analyses were conducted unadjusted, and then were adjusted for infant and maternal characteristics that are potential confounders (infant date of birth, infant gender, maternal age at the birth of the child, maternal immigration status, maternal marital status, maternal occupation, maternal income, maternal education, paternal education, maternal region of residence, maternal time lived at current residence, maternal prescription of psychotropic medications during the follow-up period, and maternal hospitalization for a mental disorder from 1964 through 2006). We explored for interaction effects between gestational age at birth and each of these infant and maternal characteristics with respect to prescription of psychotropic medication in young adulthood, using a likelihood ratio test to evaluate for statistical significance. All analyses were conducted using Stata statistical software, version 9.1.20
Infant and maternal characteristics are presented by gestational age at birth in Table 1. Of the 635933 individuals who were identified, 28799 (4.5%) were born prematurely (<37 weeks). Among these, 263 (0.04%) were born at 23–27 weeks; 3367 (0.5%) were born at 28–32 weeks; 5822 (0.9%) were born at 33–34 weeks; and 19345 (3.0%) were born at 35–36 weeks. Compared with individuals who were born full or post-term, those who were born prematurely were more likely to be male, and their mothers were more likely to have immigrated to Sweden, be unmarried, be less educated, have lower income, be prescribed psychotropic medications and/or be hospitalized for a mental disorder.
Table 2 presents, by gestational age at birth, the percentage of young adults (ages 25.5–34.0 years) who were prescribed and dispensed one or more psychotropic medications during the follow-up period. For each of the psychotropic medication groups, individuals who were born full term had the lowest prevalence of medication prescription in young adulthood. A trend of increasing prevalence of prescription was observed for antipsychotics, hypnotics/sedatives and possibly anxiolytics, by earlier gestational age at birth across all gestational ages <37 weeks, and for antidepressants at gestational ages <33 weeks. For oral contraceptives (analysed as a control medication), the highest prevalence of prescription in young adulthood was observed for women who were born at gestational ages 23–27 weeks, but unlike the relationship for psychotropic medications, no trend was observed across gestational age groups.
Table 3 presents ORs and 95% CIs for the association between gestational age at birth and prescription of psychotropic medications in young adulthood. Individuals who were born prematurely were more likely to be prescribed antipsychotics, antidepressants, hypnotics/sedatives or anxiolytics in young adulthood compared with individuals who were born full term. After adjusting for potential confounders (see Table 3 footnote), individuals who were born at a gestational age of 23–27 weeks were 3.1 times (95% CI 1.66–5.93) more likely to be prescribed antipsychotics, 1.8 times (95% CI 1.26–2.64) more likely to be prescribed antidepressants and 1.8 times (95% CI 1.15–2.96) more likely to be prescribed hypnotics/sedatives than individuals who were full term at birth. A trend of increasing risk by earlier gestational ages was observed across all gestational age groups <37 weeks for antipsychotics and hypnotics/sedatives and at gestational ages <33 weeks for antidepressants.
For oral contraceptives (analysed as a control medication), the largest OR among all gestational age groups was observed for individuals born at 23–27 weeks (adjusted OR 1.24; 95% CI 0.87–1.76). This risk estimate, however, was smaller than the corresponding ORs in this gestational age group for any of the psychotropic medications studied. Furthermore, unlike the relationships found for psychotropic medications, no trend was observed across a broader range of gestational ages.
Among the adjustment variables, the most important confounding factors were maternal marital status, maternal occupation and maternal income. In general, individuals whose mothers were unmarried, skilled or unskilled workers and/or had low income were more likely to be born prematurely and to be prescribed psychotropic medications in young adulthood than other individuals. Adding any combination of other variables included in Table 1 had little effect on the OR estimates.
Exploratory analyses for interactions between infant or maternal characteristics and gestational age with respect to psychotropic medication prescription revealed only one interaction with a P-value <0.01. This interaction indicated that the risk of antidepressant prescription in individuals born at a gestational age of 23–27 weeks compared with those born at full term was greater among individuals whose mothers had immigrated from Finland (OR 2.47; 95% CI 0.71–8.62) or from another country (OR 2.95; 95% CI 0.99–8.79) than among those with Swedish-born mothers (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.08–2.34).
This national cohort study used outpatient and inpatient pharmacy data to evaluate whether individuals who were born preterm are more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications during young adulthood than individuals who were born full term. We found that earlier gestational age at birth was associated with increased risk of prescription of antipsychotics, antidepressants, hypnotics/sedatives and possibly anxiolytics at ages 25.5–34.0 years. These associations remained after adjusting for potential confounders, suggesting that preterm birth is an independent risk factor for mental disorders at least into young adulthood.
These findings are consistent with those of a recent study that reported an association between preterm birth and psychiatric hospitalization. Lindstrom et al. reported a stepwise increase in risk of psychiatric hospitalization at ages 8–29 years by earlier gestational age at birth.18
Preterm birth has multiple causes, which have been described previously.21–24 Determinants may include chronic stress via activation of the maternal and fetal hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis,25 decidual chorioamniotic inflammation caused by bacterial vaginoses,26,27 decidual vasculopathy caused by maternal hypertension, preeclampsia and vascular lesions28,29 and other risk factors such as smoking, undernutrition and diabetes.28–30 Several studies have reported structural brain sequelae of preterm birth, including reduced cerebral volume in childhood or adolescence,31–33 and have shown that the degree of preterm birth was a major predictor of altered cerebral volume.34
Proposed mechanisms for the effect of preterm birth on neuropsychiatric disorders include a disturbance of the programmed corticogenesis of the developing brain. The HPA axis may be involved in the timing of parturition,35 and altered HPA hormonal activity has been reported in psychiatric disorders such as depression.36 Genetic mechanisms may also be involved: mothers with psychiatric conditions may have an increased risk of preterm delivery due to HPA hormonal alterations, and their children may be more likely to develop psychiatric conditions due to the hereditary component of these disorders.37
The current study has several limitations as well as important strengths. Limitations include, first, the inability to exclude diagnostic bias. It is possible that individuals who were born preterm were more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications because of greater contact with the health-care system for other medical conditions. We explored this possibility by analysing oral contraceptive prescription in young adulthood as a 'control medication'. Compared with the associations observed between preterm birth and psychotropic medications in young adulthood, a much weaker relationship and no trend across gestational age groups was observed for oral contraceptives. These findings make it less likely that the observed associations between preterm birth and psychotropic medications are attributable to an artifact in the data or diagnostic bias among individuals who were born preterm. Secondly, the pharmacy data used in this study were available for only 1.5 years of follow-up. Thirdly, estimation of gestational age was based on maternal report of last menstrual period rather than by ultrasound, which was not yet widely used at the time these study participants were born (1973–79).
This study also has several important strengths. The availability of national outpatient as well as inpatient pharmacy data allowed us to incorporate a broad spectrum of mental illness including the large majority of cases that do not require hospitalization. This enabled a more comprehensive assessment of preterm birth and psychiatric outcomes, which is closer to the biologic relationships of interest. Linkage of these pharmacy data to national birth, hospital and census records enabled us to include a broad set of infant and maternal characteristics, including maternal psychiatric medications and psychiatric hospitalizations, in order to adjust for potential confounders. We also evaluated several different classes of psychotropic medications, among which antipsychotic medications had the strongest association with preterm birth status. The differential risks we observed among these medication groups need further replication in future studies.
In summary, these findings from a large national cohort suggest that preterm birth has important independent effects on mental health that extend at least into young adulthood. Further research is needed to clarify the biologic mechanisms by which preterm birth may affect longer-term mental health, including the differential risks for different psychiatric disorders.

Spinning AgainJanuary 9, 2013
Taking a Blog BreakJanuary 1, 2013
So much to blog about. Our wonderful trip to Florida, Adelaide's second birthday, all of our holiday and advent crafts, Christmas, New Years and more, but I'm taking a blog break. Not sure when or if I'll be back.
All of the things to blog about hanging over my head stresses me out. I feel as though I won't ever catch up, and I don't like it. Going to spend my January living my life, connecting with my family and pouring myself back into our rhythm, which gets off beat when there is so much chaos over the holidays. Hope you have a wonderful time finding your rhythm again, as well. Perhaps I'll miss the blog immensely, and feel it's gentle pressure to do fun activities and give our days more structure, but perhaps I'll not miss it at all. Only time will tell.
Xlear ReviewDecember 4, 2012
With Christmas almost upon us, it's the time for holiday goodies. Can we say sugar overload? We like homemade sweets as much as the next family, but sometimes a healthier option is in order.
When I was offered the chance to sample and review Xlear SparX https://www.xlear.com/ candy with xylitol, a natural sweetener that's actually good for your teeth, I jumped at it. Eleanore and I were surprised they were so fruity, sweet tasting and good! It is a true healthy indulgence I would not feel guilty about giving my children. They almost remind me of a healthier nerd-like candy– a childhood favorite of mine. Best of all, they contain no artificial color, which is something we're avoiding in our family.
I've known about the company for a while, as both Eleanore and Adelaide love their bubble gum flavor children's toothpaste, and now we all love their candy, too.

Finished and Almost Finished Waldorf BabiesNovember 15, 2012
If you're friends with me on facebook, you've already seen a picture of Adelaide's finished Waldorf baby for her 2nd birthday, but I just realized I never posted a picture here on my blog!
The yarn is handspun by me and from my stash. The shirt is from this pattern and the pants are just a custom knit by me. *Everything* except the doll needles ($4.50 at Joann's) and one little skein of embroidery floss (I didn't have any pink floss in my stash) for .39 was from my stash. For the doll skin, I used an old white t-shirt I dyed a tan-ish pink, and I used another old white t-shirt of Eleanore's for the inside of the doll head.
I used Waldorf Doll Making as my main reference, but I also used these great online tutorials to clarify a few things.
This is a great tutorial from Living Crafts magazine (and they're not going to be printing the magazine any longer – I was devastated to hear that a few weeks ago :()
This is a nice walk-through with pictures and even a printable pattern from Echoes of a Dream.
And this is the tutorial I used for the hair. It made it a lot easier to sew it together before sewing it on the head.
This one will be for Adelaide's 2nd birthday, as Eleanore received a Waldorf doll for her 2nd birthday. However, I thought that Eleanore might like another doll for Christmas. Plus, I had all these patterns just waiting to be worked in the Making Waldorf Dolls book, so I figured why not whip up another one.
I'm not finished with it yet — I'm still sewing the arm piece to the body and legs. This one was a little more difficult for me, if you can believe it. My hand sewing skills are a little rusty, and I made the head a little too long. I veered a little from the pattern in the book, adding a few bean bags filled with lentils to make her more of a "heavy" baby. Eleanore especially loves her weighted dolls, so I hope she likes her.
I'm actually loving making these dolls; I'm so glad I got over my intimidation of them. They're the perfect crafting project to unwind with in the evenings. I'm kind of sad I'm almost finished with this one, but I do have lots of projects to be worked before Christmas — a mermaid tail for Eleanore's bigger Waldorf baby, a child-sized mei tai, hair ties, blocks, etc. I do see more doll making in my future though!
Preparing for AdventNovember 14, 2012
The day after Thanksgiving we're driving down to Florida and then Indianapolis, so I'm trying to get things organized for the holidays before we leave. It's a daunting task! One thing I've wanted to do for ages was an advent calendar. This year I am giving it a go. It will be a bit strange, as we're out of town until December 9th, but I figure we can just double up after we get home and perhaps even take a few with us.
I made our advent calendar this year out of library pockets, then printed out library cards to slip inside, stamped the days on and then hung it in a Christmas tree shape with the 25 on the top. I think we'll go ahead and do a Christmas-y stamp on each one in addition to the number stamp.
Each pocket has a holiday activity to do. I really wanted to focus on activities, rather than candy or gifts. Here is my list:
1. Make an advent wreath for the table.
2. Bake advent bread.
3. Make paper snowflakes for the windows.
4. Write a letter to Santa Claus.
5. Make shoe prints for St. Nicholas Day
6. Make candy cane milkshakes (smoothies)
7. Make a winter nature wreath.
8. Make snow (instant snow powder).
9. Make orange peel bird feeders.
10. Collect food for those who are less fortunate.
11. Make ornaments to give and hang on the tree.
12. Take a video of us singing a Christmas carol to send to family.
13. Bake St. Lucia bread and make crowns.
14. Make candy cane playdough.
15. Make paper chains for the tree.
16. Donate some of our old toys and books for other boys and girls to enjoy.
17. Visit Santa.
18. Decorate edible Christmas trees (using upside down ice cream cones).
19. Drive after dark to see the lights and decorations.
20. Make hot cocoa and watch a Christmas movie.
21. Make wrapping paper.
22. Bake Christmas cookies
23. Make a popcorn and cranberry garland for the birds.
24. Open one gift and read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Other ideas: make Christmas slime (add glitter to make it "magical"), make fudge or candy, roast chestnuts…
And, in case you were wondering, yes that is green crayon on my wall. Adelaide loves to color, and wanted to make the wall beautiful. This mama is out of magic erasers at the moment…
More BirdsNovember 12, 2012
Normally I'd be posting about Martinmas today, as yesterday was the night to head out on the traditional Martinmas lantern walks. Unfortunately, a trip to the indoor play place with our homeschool group last week got Eleanore sick. Every time we play at one, we end up sick. I don't know what I was thinking. So, we had a quiet day at home. We did read our usual martinmas stories, but both girls were so tired, we didn't even get to walk outside in the yard with our lanterns as I had hoped. A candle at dinner while we shared our meal was enough for this year's celebration.
Even while dealing with runny noses and sore throats, we've all been having a wonderful time watching the birds outside our dining room window on the suet feeder. We're using our National Geographic Field Guide to Michigan birds to identify them (perfect pictures that make it easy enough for even Eleanore to do so!)
So far we've seen male and female cardinals, red bellied woodpeckers, chickadees, blue jays, white breasted nuthatch, dark eyed juncos, male and female downy woodpeckers, tufted titmouse, and just today we spotted a carolina wren for the first time.
Eleanore's been enjoying it so much that I decided to join Project FeederWatch. Once we receive our packet with materials, a calendar and poster, we'll be keeping track of all the birds we see visiting our bird feeder and submitting the data to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for their research. They even have a homeschool guide!
And when we emptied a milk gallon yesterday, we couldn't resist making another bird feeder. We cut a hole in it, punched a twig through beneath it, filled it with birdseed and hung it on the other side of our suet feeder. The nuthatches and chickadees are loving it!
Make sure and enter my tiny prints giveaway for your chance to win $50 to spend at their store. I'm picking a winner tomorrow!
It's time for Holiday Cards ( and *another giveaway!*)November 11, 2012

It's nearing the holidays, so of course it's time to wrangle the family and take those pictures. I just attempted to take a few pictures and I hope at least one of them is good enough for our holiday card. Getting two kids to smile at the same time is a bit of an adventure…
Once again, I'll be ordering my cards from Tiny Prints – they have wonderful thick paper and I love the choices they are offering this year. I was very happy with the circle cards I picked up last year — they were adorable tied on a package, and we also hung a few on the tree!

A great article by Joe Czerwinski in the Wine Enthusiast, talking about New Zealand Syrah. Good to see Lauren being quoted and Ash Ridge being put in good company.
A great article by Joe Czerwinski in the Wine Enthusiast, talking about New Zealand Syrah. Good to see Lauren being quoted and Ash Ridge being put in good company.
Throughout January, Ash Ridge is hosting a series of mini concerts, every Saturday evening between 4pm and 7pm. We have a range of local artists performing in the vines, in the most relaxing environment in the Bay.
So grab a blanket, bring some friends and make a date in the vines. We have a BBQ to feed to the stomach, Wine to feed the senses, and music to feed the soul.
January 2nd – Ian Munro
January 9th – Centrepiece
January 16th – James Rochester
January 23rd – Bridge Pa Wine Festival (ticketed event)
January 30th – Centrepiece
The Bridge Pa Wine Festival is back for 2016, bigger and better. For the best Wine Experience this summer in Hawke' Bay, grab your tickets at www.eventfinda.co.nz. With a fantastic line up of wine, food and music, this is an event not to be missed.
Our very own Lauren Swift was last night crowned the inaugural New Young Winemaker of the Year 2015. After three days of gruelling competition against the winners of the Marlborough and Central Otago regional competitions, Lauren came out on top.
Presented with the trophy by TV3's Mike McRoberts at the Bragato Gala Diner, Lauren showed the world what we already knew, that New Zealand's brightest winemaking talent is resident at Ash Ridge.
We invite you all to visit the cellar door and taste some of the wines made by our fantastic talent. The whole team at Ash Ridge is incredibly proud of Lauren's achievement.
Our very own winemaker, Lauren Swift, has recently been crowned the inaugural Hawke's Bay Young Winemaker of the Year 2015.
Another feather in Lauren's increasingly heavy hat, Lauren overcame some stiff competition to take out the title, making her co-workers very proud, and a bit hungover, in the process.
Lauren now competes against the winners of the Marlborough and Central Otago competitions for the National Title later in August!
Read this great article on Lauren
Ash Ridge has won the Hawkes Bay Bayleys A&P Winery of the Year 2014. The second time the winery has won this award in three years is a spectacular achievement given the quality of wineries in the show. To add to our joy the winery also won Champion Merlot for the Ash Ridge Merlot 2013. This is also a major achievement for young winemaker Lauren Swift, who only graduated from EIT in November 2012, so to win a trophy from her first full-time vintage as a winemaker is an amazing result.

President Obama to Host Ukrainian Prime Minister
Posted March 9th, 2014 @ 6:15pm by KFBK News
President Obama is back in Washington after a family vacation in Florida.
He'll host the Ukrainian Prime Minister at the White House on Wednesday. The meeting is intended to demonstrate U.S. support for the new government in Kiev.
Vice President Joe Biden is cutting short his trip to Latin America to attend the meeting.
