Socioeconomic Outcomes in Adults Malnourished in the First Year of Life: A 40-Year Study
OBJECTIVE: Lifelong functional, adaptive, and economic outcomes of moderate to severe infantile malnutrition are not well known. We assessed social status and income at midlife in a cohort of Barbadian adults, hospitalized for protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) during the first year of life, with good nutrition and health thereafter, in the context of a 40-year longitudinal case-control study. We also examined to what extent childhood IQ mediated any group differences.
METHODS: Educational achievement, occupational status, and standard of living were assessed by the Hollingshead scales and a site-specific Ecology Questionnaire in Barbadian adults (aged 37–43 years) with a history of malnutrition (n = 80) and a matched healthy control group (n = 63), classmates of the index cases. Malnutrition effects, adjusted for childhood standard of living, were estimated by longitudinal multiple regression analyses, with and without childhood IQ, in the models.
RESULTS: PEM predicted poorer socioeconomic outcomes with medium to large effect sizes (0.50–0.94), but childhood IQ substantially attenuated the magnitude of these effects (adjusted effect sizes: 0.17–0.34). The gap in weekly household income between the PEM and control groups increased substantially over the life span (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate to severe PEM during the first year of life with adequate nutrition and health care thereafter is associated with significant depression of socioeconomic outcomes in adulthood, mediated in part by cognitive compromise in affected individuals. This finding underscores the potential long-term economic burden of infant malnutrition, which is of major concern given the continued high prevalence of malnutrition worldwide.

What's Known on This Subject:
Infant malnutrition is known to be associated with behavioral and cognitive impairment throughout childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. However, controlled studies addressing adult outcomes in middle life, including earning potential, educational attainment, and standard of living, are limited.
What This Study Adds:
A discrete episode of moderate to severe malnutrition in infancy, with good rehabilitation thereafter, is associated with lower adult social status and a widening income gap relative to healthy controls, partially attributable to cognitive impairment in the previously malnourished.
Although the adverse impact of early childhood malnutrition on cognitive and behavioral development in children and adolescents is well documented,1 lifelong functional and adaptive outcomes are only recently being investigated as the children who participated in these studies attain adulthood. In childhood, intelligence and academic performance are meaningful indicators of outcome, whereas for adults, employment, educational attainment, and economic productivity can be more relevant.
Correlational data suggest that early childhood malnutrition is associated with decreased potential for economic opportunity, with major implications for human capital. Prenatal and childhood undernutrition predict poorer functional outcomes in adulthood, including fewer years of schooling and reduced income levels.2,3 An epidemiologic analysis of 5 pooled birth cohorts from low- and middle-income countries indicated, moreover, that weight gain during the first 2 years of life predicts educational attainment,4 whereas weight gain between 2 and 4 years does not, highlighting the particular vulnerability of infants. Even in populations exposed to famine, where the malnutrition was presumably of limited duration, exposed infants are at increased risk for compromised educational attainment and earning potential as adults.5,6
Because nutritional insults typically occur in a context of poverty and social disadvantage, distinguishing the effects of malnutrition per se from of the more global impacts of poverty can be challenging.1,7,8 Studies have typically used markers such as maternal schooling or father's occupation near birth, providing only a limited estimate of childhood socioeconomic influences (although the Jamaica study,2 which assessed crowding and household possessions, is an exception). Further complicating the interpretation of outcomes is the high prevalence of chronic undernutrition in severely impoverished environments.
Thus, although studies to date suggest that infantile malnutrition can have lifelong impacts on adult adaptive and economic outcomes, interpretation is compromised by limited characterization of childhood socioeconomic influences, potential confounding of acute malnutrition with chronic undernutrition, and lack of documentation of the malnutrition at the case level (in the case of the famine studies).
In the current study, we describe socioeconomic outcomes in adults malnourished as infants in the context of a 40-year longitudinal case-control study, the Barbados Nutrition Study (BNS). The adult follow-up also included measures of mental health, cognitive, and health outcomes that will be addressed elsewhere.9 The BNS was explicitly designed to evaluate the impacts of a well-documented period of malnutrition during the first year of life.10–16 Methodologic assets include the case-control design, detailed ecological data obtained throughout childhood and adolescence, and documentation of adequate nutrition after the malnutrition episode and of birth history.
The children recruited to the BNS had normal birth weights. They subsequently experienced moderate to severe protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in the first year of life but had no further malnutrition after the first year of life. Their good health and nutrition were assured as part of a government-supported intervention program from infancy to age 12 years.17 These children were matched on the basis of gender, age, and handedness with a healthy comparison group recruited from the same classrooms. Despite their nutritional rehabilitation and complete catchup in physical growth,13 the previously malnourished children displayed persisting deficits in attention, IQ,12 and academic achievement18 through adolescence, as well as an increased level of conduct problems and depressive symptoms.15,19
The primary aim of the current study was to compare these 2 groups at midlife on basic metrics of social outcome, including occupation, educational attainment, standard of living, and household income. We also investigated the extent to which childhood cognitive impairment accounted for any group differences. We hypothesized that malnutrition-related effects on socioeconomic outcomes would be mediated by cognitive impairment, which was more prevalent in the previously malnourished group10,12. Finally, we assessed household income across the life span, hypothesizing that the trajectory of change in household income would differ in the 2 nutrition groups.
Participants were born in Barbados, an English-speaking Caribbean country. The majority of the population is of African origin (92%) and lower-middle class, with obligatory school attendance to 16 years and a 99% literacy rate. In 1970, during the era when the BNS sample was born, the infant mortality rate was 46 per 1000 live births, compared with 7.8 today. Although malnutrition was common in Barbados when the participants were born, it is now virtually eliminated because of an improved economy and an island-wide program to eradicate malnutrition.17,20,21
Participants were born between 1967 and 1972.10,13,22 All children admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in their first year of life (mean age of admission: 6.9 ± 3.1 months) with grade II or III PEM (marasmus or kwashiorkor) based on the Gomez Scale, which classifies degree of malnutrition on the basis of expected weight for age,23 were eligible if they met the following inclusion criteria: normal birth weight (>2500 g), absence of pre- or postnatal complications, Apgar scores ≥8, no encephalopathic events during childhood, and no malnutrition after the first year of life. These children were subsequently enrolled in a government-supported intervention program that provided health care, growth monitoring, nutrition education, subsidized foods, and regular home visits and followed to age 12 years.17 Healthy comparison children (CON) were recruited from the same classrooms and matched for gender, age, and handedness to the index children. They met the same inclusion criteria but had no histories of malnutrition.
Research Design
Participants were assessed comprehensively at 3 time points spanning childhood and adolescence and again as adults (see Fig 1). In 1977 (T1), we evaluated children with histories of marasmus (n = 129) and CON children (n = 129) who were 5 to 11 years old at that time. These children were reevaluated in 1982 (T2, not shown in Fig 1). In 1984 (T3), an additional group of children who had been hospitalized for kwashiorkor (n = 54) during the same period as those hospitalized for marasmus were recruited for comparison purposes. At that time, a subgroup (marasmus, n = 62; CON, n = 62) of the original 258 children were selected for evaluation as the best matches for age, gender, and grade in school to the kwashiorkor group. The marasmus and kwashiorkor groups (PEM) were subsequently combined for analytic purposes because they did not differ on any behavior, cognitive, or anthropometric measure.11–14 In the period from 2007 through 2010, the cohort was studied as adults (PEM, n = 80; CON, n = 65). All but 2 had complete socioeconomic data. Although we accounted for 98% of the original participants, a limitation in funding resources for recruitment and data collection contributed to the reduction in the final number. The current study is based on 44% of the PEM group and 50% of the CON group, primarily individuals residing in Barbados.
Informed consent was provided by parents of all study participants when they were initially recruited under Protocol E1962, Boston University Medical Center Institutional Review Board, and by the Ethics Committee of the Barbados Ministry of Health. Current oversight (in adulthood) is provided by the Judge Baker Children's Center Human Research Review Committee (assurance no. FWA 00001811). All adult participants provided written informed consent.
Adult social position was measured by using the Hollingshead scales, which rank social position based on occupation and educational attainment.24 The Occupation and Education Scales yield scores from 1 to 7, higher scores reflecting lower social status. Items are weighted (occupation score × 7 and education score × 4) and summed to produce an index of social position score (11–77), classified into 5 categories (1–5), with higher values indicating lower social status.
Childhood standard of living (T1, T2, and T3) was assessed by using the Ecology Questionnaire,25,26 the 50 items of which query conditions in the household and the educational and employment history of the parents. A household standard of living scale was derived by factor analysis, by using principal components factor-extraction followed by normal varimax rotation, applied separately at each time point. These data were subsequently combined because the factor structure and content across time points were comparable, although factor scores were calculated separately for each time. The standard of living scale had good internal consistency (θ = 0.86).27 Items contributing most strongly included possession of a refrigerator, bath, television, electricity, running water, closet, and gas or electric cooking fuel, number of bedrooms/rooms, household food expenditure, type of toilet, and weekly household income. This questionnaire was also administered at the adult follow-up. Principle components factor analysis similarly yielded a household standard of living factor (Table 1) with good reliability (θ = 0.81). These scores were standardized at each time point to a mean of 0 and SD of 1.
For IQ, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children28 was administered at T1,10 and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised at T229 and T3,12 with minor alteration of items to include familiar local exemplars.
Statistical Methods
Data analysis was conducted by using SAS statistical software, version 9.2.30 Demographic characteristics of participants who were or were not studied in adulthood were compared by using χ2 and 2-way analysis of variance (nutrition group × participation in adult study). Because the nutrition groups differed significantly for standard of living at all time points in childhood, it was included as a covariate in all models. Because there were no main effects or interactions with gender, it was not included in the models.
Longitudinal multiple regression analysis (MRA) was applied (SAS PROC MIXED) to test the effects of malnutrition on adult social position. This analysis was repeated including childhood IQ (measured at T1, T2, and T3) to evaluate potential mediation. These analyses involved simultaneously fitting separate multiple regression equations at T1, T2, and T3, thereby allowing the effects of childhood standard of living and childhood IQ to vary over time. By simultaneously fitting these regressions, it was possible to evaluate formally how similar or different these effects were across time. Because the effects of childhood standard of living and childhood IQ at each time point were similar, a simplified regression was fit, with common effects over time that pooled information regarding these 2 variables from all 3 periods. For inferences about the regression parameters, standard errors were based on the empirical (or so-called sandwich) variance estimator, thereby accounting for the correlation among the errors in the three regression equations (since the same adult social position outcome, albeit different covariate values for childhood standard of living or childhood IQ, appeared in the 3 regressions). Finally, household income was evaluated across time points by longitudinal MRA, by using SAS PROC MIXED.30 The model included nutrition group and time (childhood/adolescence vs adulthood) as main effects and appropriately accounts for the correlation among the repeated assessments. A nutrition group × time interaction was tested to assess whether group differences changed over time. The significance level was set at P < .05, and we did not adjust for experiment-wise error.
Group Characteristics
Groups were comparable in gender and age (Table 2). Individuals who did and did not participate as adults did not differ significantly in terms of representation from the 2 groups (χ2 = 0.80, P = .37), gender, age, IQ, or household standard of living in childhood. Thus, the participants could be assumed to be representative of the original cohort.
Distribution of Hollingshead Scores
The distribution of adult Hollingshead Index of Social Position scores for the nutrition groups is illustrated in Fig 2. The majority of the PEM group is represented in the lower-middle or lower social classes, whereas the CON group is represented primarily in the middle and lower-middle classes. In terms of education, only 13% of the PEM group attended university compared with 44% of the CON group [χ2(1) = 13.64; P < .001]. Conversely, 81% of the PEM group had manual jobs compared with 51% of the CON group [χ2(1) = 11.33; P < .001]. These analyses were not adjusted for covariates, however.
Effects of Nutrition Group and Childhood IQ
Table 3 shows mean values of the outcome variables and results of the multiple regression analyses. History of infant malnutrition, adjusted for childhood standard of living, was significantly related to all adult outcomes, with moderate to large effect sizes. Including childhood IQ in the model, however, greatly attenuated the malnutrition effects. There was a reduction of ∼65% in the effect sizes for the Hollingshead Occupational and Educational Scales and 55% for Social Position. The attenuation was discernible, although modest, for the household standard of living, with a relative reduction of ∼30% in the effect size. Thus, cognitive impairment, as measured during childhood and adolescence, appears to partially mediate the relationship between infantile malnutrition and adult social status. There were no interactions between malnutrition and IQ.
Household Income Across the Life Span
The estimated group disparity in weekly household income (based on the longitudinal MRA) increased between childhood/adolescence and adulthood (Fig 3). The interaction between nutrition group and time reflected the greater gap in the adult phase of this study, estimated at 238.66 (SE = 75.6, P < .01) in Barbados dollars. There were significant differences in household income adjusted for inflation* in both the youth (t = −2.63, P < .01) and adult (t = −3.15, P < .005) phases of the study. In the youth phase, the malnourished group earned approximately $60 less per week. Although adjusted incomes increased significantly over time for both groups, this was significantly lower for the malnourished group. Specifically, the control group had an increase of approximately $385 per week compared with approximately $145 for the malnourished group. Thus, the initial disparity in adjusted income seen in youth grew significantly over time.
Adults malnourished as infants achieved lower social status than did peers who had not experienced malnutrition, despite their participation in a comprehensive intervention program that ensured good health and nutrition from infancy to 12 years of age and even after taking into account the family's standard of living during childhood and adolescence. This relationship was partially accounted for by cognitive impairment in the previously malnourished group, documented since childhood.10,12 Moreover, the gap in household income between the 2 groups increased over time, becoming substantially greater in adulthood than in childhood.
The adaptive implications and potential economic costs of early malnutrition and its developmental consequences thus appear to be significant and lifelong. The vast majority of participants with histories of early malnutrition, upward of 80%, did not complete high school and are employed as manual laborers. Conversely, nearly half of the healthy control group attended some university, compared with only a handful of those in the malnutrition group, and only 51% are manual laborers. Thus, the neurocognitive impairment that emerged in childhood in participants who suffered from infant malnutrition appears to have major consequences in terms of life prospects.
Our data thus suggest that neurologic consequences of infantile malnutrition, manifest in cognitive compromise, limit educational and occupational opportunities in adulthood. Although it is theoretically possible that early malnutrition affects economic outcomes indirectly by impairing health and resulting in reduced school attendance and hence achievement,31 this scenario would not explain outcomes observed in Barbados, where significant resources were devoted to restoring and maintaining child health. We have in fact reported that school attendance at 5 to 11 years of age was not reduced in the malnourished group.22
Our findings corroborate and complement those from studies of Greek6 and Chinese famines.5 In the Greek famine study, the adverse effects were greatest in individuals exposed as infants, consistent with our findings. Our findings are also consistent with outcome studies in less developed countries, which consistently report lower educational attainment and income levels in adults who suffered from malnutrition or poor weight gain in the first 2 years of life.2,3,32–34
Because the participants in the Barbados cohort were rehabilitated and their health and development monitored after the malnutrition episode, these findings can more confidently be attributed to the history of infant malnutrition and not to subsequent health impairment.13 The long-term outcomes of malnourished children growing up in less favorable conditions are therefore likely to be poorer than those seen in the Barbados sample. Moreover, the findings suggest that complete nutritional rehabilitation and catchup growth are inadequate to compensate for the neurodevelopmental impacts of early malnutrition.
Finally, the less favorable income trajectory observed in the previously malnourished participants deserves additional comment. The increased gap between these groups as adults compared with household income in childhood likely reflects reduced adult opportunity due to deficits in their cognitive functioning, and potentially their physical and mental health, predisposing them to "cumulative poverty."35 The potential economic implications of this finding are considerable.
This study has several limitations. First, as is common in many longitudinal studies, sample sizes varied across time points. Individuals who did not participate as adults, however, essentially did not differ from those who did participate, arguing against any ascertainment bias. Another limitation may be generalizability of the findings to other settings. Given their access to good nutrition and health care, the outcomes in this sample may be more favorable than that which might be found in settings where such resources are not available.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund, childhood malnutrition continues to have an impact on nearly 34% of children worldwide.36 More concerning, interventions after the fact, including early childhood programs, are only modestly effective in mitigating the effects of malnutrition on child development.31,37 The potential economic cost of early malnutrition could therefore be enormous in parts of the world where it is prevalent, especially in settings where there may be ongoing stunting and poor health care. Effective programs to prevent early malnutrition and to improve maternal and child nutrition and health, especially in the first 2 years of life, could have significant long-term economic benefit.38
We express our gratitude to the participants and their families without whom this research could not have been done. The authors would also like to acknowledge the dedicated staff of the Barbados Nutrition Study, and late Sir Frank C. Ramsey, former Director of the Nutrition Centre of Barbados and Co-PI of this study, who followed these children for most of their lives and whose efforts resulted in the elimination of malnutrition from Barbados.

ok, I went and bought a 8GB Sandisk Cruser Titanium. I wanted to partition it so that I have 4GB for a full Backtrack 2 install (as if am using linux installed on a laptop etc), and 4GB with U3 features for windows.
Can anyone advise on how I can format my USB flash drive and how to install backtrack 2 full.
am very new to this stuff.
Is 4gb for Backtrack too much?

Backfire effect
| Tell me about
your mother
|For our next session...
|Popping into your mind
""What should be evident from the studies on the backfire effect is you can never win an argument online. When you start to pull out facts and figures, hyperlinks and quotes, you are actually making the opponent feel as though they are even more sure of their position than before you started the debate. As they match your fervor, the same thing happens in your skull. The backfire effect pushes both of you deeper into your original beliefs.
|—You Are Not So Smart - The Backfire Effect[1]
The backfire effect occurs when, in the face of contradictory evidence, established beliefs do not change but actually get stronger. The effect has been demonstrated experimentally in psychological tests, where subjects are given data that either reinforces or goes against their existing biases - and in most cases people can be shown to increase their confidence in their prior position regardless of the evidence they were faced with.
In a pessimistic sense, this makes most refutations useless.
[edit] Causes
- Persecution complex: People of all stripes all too often fear a crusade against their beliefs, and may group together people who question their beliefs to make a big, scary monster. For example, fundamentalist Christians sometimes dismiss atheists arguments as "from Satan himself", and people as a whole have a tendency to disregard sources that they disagree with.
[edit] How to fight it
""Not taking ideas personally is made easier by the meta-belief that holding certain beliefs does not make you a better person.
|—Peter Boghossian[2]
The backfire effect is extremely strong. But there are some proven ways to bring someone around to your point of view.
- Let tempers cool down a bit before bringing a subject up again. A large portion of the backfire effect stems from people not wanting to be seen as wrong or stupid in front of an audience. Once the flame wars die down a bit people will be more emotionally able to accept your viewpoint.
- Stymied by the opponent's selfishness? If possible, you should show your opponent how something would benefit them personally. A lot of people view certain positions as a zero sum game and if you're able to show that it's not (or at least they'd get the long end of the stick) you can bring them around.
- Just wait for a little bit. Sometimes what you said actually sank in to some extent; they just need some time to mull it over.
Of course, the most important thing to remember is that you yourself are just as vulnerable to it as your opponent. Make sure you don't fall victim to the backfire effect by carefully examining evidence that seems to contradict your preconceptions, and allowing for the possibility that you might have been wrong.
[edit] How to abuse it
If you're feeling especially mischievous, you can use the backfire effect to trap someone into a bad position and pound them repeatedly to get what you want.
Martin Luther King specifically targeted the short-tempered sheriff Jim Clark to raise awareness for American civil rights. However, King wasn't trying to convince his opponent so much as trick him into making himself look like a total thug and moron.

Handwritten paper signs like these, with words like "SOS" and "Beatings!" on them, were seen floating out of second-story windows at Internet addiction camps in China when a local paper went to further investigate after the recent beating death of a teenaged
camper inmate. Shortly after these signs were waved, though, the kids were apparently stopped by the instructors, and we can only imagine what happened after that.
I wonder if there's something Internet "addicts" in the US can do to help put an end to these horrific camps. Infiltrate the Great Firewall of China, maybe, and send cryptic revolutionary messages using chat rooms and Google Translate.

My Boston Terrier has severe episodes of reverse sneezing that sometimes result in vomiting a thick mucus (and food).
We've taken her to the vet and he did several tests and can find no explanation other than a sensitive palate. Have others dealt with reverse sneezing of this severity? And if so, what did you do about it? The vet said we could try children's benadryl, which has worked for our other Boston in the past, but his reverse sneezing was not nearly this bad. Are there other things we could do to help her? Basically when she has an episode of reverse sneezing that sounds like it will result in vomiting I rush her to the bathtub so it's way easier to clean up. I've read of people trying to distract their dogs out of it and I would think being picked up and whisked to the tub would have that effect, but it doesn't.

I've had my Boston for 11 years an through out having him he too has reverse sneezing, when this occurs I pat his back and let him know it's oka. When it sounds like he's about to vomit its his way of being ending it, he never vomits though and Ive never had to buy medication. I do sit outside with him and let him get fresh air an water, it seems to work my Boston. This isn't the best advice but I do relate.

Hello. As scarey as the reverse sneeze sounds and looks, it is just an irritation that causes this. I was told by my vet to cover my dog's nose with my palm of my hand and it always stops it. Perhaps if you catch it early, she will not throw up.

I stick my fingers in my dogs mouth to open it. Once you get their mouth open it usually promotes better breathing. It works for my dog.

text: This past week, the Texas House and Senate approved the conference committee report on Senate Bill 321. This NRA-backed employee protection/parking lot legislation was sponsored by state Senator Glenn Hegar (R-Katy) and state Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington). If signed into law, this bill would prevent employers from enacting and enforcing policies to prohibit employees from storing firearms in their locked private motor vehicles while parked at work. Passage of this measure had been strongly opposed by powerful business and industry groups in previous years, but hard-working, law-abiding Texas gun owners finally prevailed this session thanks to your phone calls and emails over the last five months!

Devotions: Upon Emergent Occasions, Together with Death's Duel (Ann… (original 1624; edition 1959)
by John Donne
Work details
Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Death's Duel by John Donne (1624)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
My own fascination with John Donne reminds me of the attempts by others to reassure their friends and family regarding death. Socrates did so in the Phaedo by describing his life as one long attempt to prepare for death. His view was echoed and enhanced by Montaigne who, In his essay titled "That to Study Philosophy is to Learn to Die," turns to mortality and points to the understanding of death as a prerequisite for the understanding of life, for the very art of living.
"[L]et us learn bravely to stand our ground, and fight him. And to begin to deprive him of the greatest advantage he has over us, let us take a way quite contrary to the common course. Let us disarm him of his novelty and strangeness, let us converse and be familiar with him, and have nothing so frequent in our thoughts as death. "(Montaigne, Essays)
But one more example from my reading can be found in Rainier Maria Rilke's beautiful novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Through Rilke's fascination with faces and appearances the importance of constructing an authentic life is emphasized. This becomes a prerequisite for the prospect of a unique personal death. Death itself is a character in the novel, a "terrible rival", which may seem stronger than the living in its tolling.
The tolling of the bell in Rilke's novel signalling death brings us back to Donne who penned these famous lines:
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." (Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, 17)
These meditations and prayers of John Donne are a difficult read - but worth the effort - most of us try to deny the reality of death by almost any means - here is a man struggling to accept death - struggling to find peace while life is slipping away - drawing out important spiritual lessons in the midst of suffering.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375705481, Paperback)Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Death's Duel, one of the handsome series of Vintage Spiritual Classics, contains a rich collection of extraordinary writings, any one of which would be worth the price of the whole book. Andrew Motion's clear, accessible, entertaining, and erudite introduction explains the situation of both Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions--written in 1624, when Donne was feeble with a fever that doctors believed might kill him--and Death's Duel--Donne's final sermon at St. Paul's Cathedral, preached only a month before his death at age 59. Also included is Izaak Walton's The Life of Dr. John Donne, a spry and penetrating biography of the poet, written in 1640. And then there is the meat: both Devotions and Death's Duel show Donne at his very best--theatrical, humble, faithful, and doubting all at once. This is a book of severe and joyful mortality. Here is a foretaste from Devotions: "Death is in an old man's door, he appears and tells him so, and death is at a young man's back, and says nothing.... There is scarce anything that hath not killed somebody; a hair, a feather hath done it; nay, that which is our best antidote against it hath done it; the best cordial hath been deadly poison." --Michael Joseph Gross

The role of gender and framing in shaping community activists' perceptions of environmental risks
Teo, Melissa (2011) The role of gender and framing in shaping community activists' perceptions of environmental risks. In Yigitcanlar, Tan & Fachinelli, Cristina (Eds.) Proceedings of the 4th Knowledge Cities World Summit, The World Capital Institute and Ibero-American Community for Knowledge Systems, Brazil, pp. 371-378.

campaign to oppose projects proposed in their local community. The social constructionist perspective advocates that these motivations are driven by activists' interpretation of reality, such that activists will assign multiple meanings to and frame environmental issues in a way that reflects their view of reality. Past research suggest that these are also influenced by patterns of shared meaning and interpretation that develop over time in protest movements that shape activists' perceptions of the environmental risks and impacts associated with construction activity. This paper explores the role of gender distinctions in shaping perceptions of environmental risk and how this affects their framing of the environmental, social, cultural/ historical impacts associated with a construction project. Using Snow and Benford's (1988) 3-prong analytical tool for framing: diagnostic framing, prognostic framing and motivational framing, this paper presents findings from the content analysis of in-depth interviews of 24 activists protesting against a highly controversial housing project in the greater Sydney metropolitan area. The research adopts a single case study approach, and is particularly significant as it investigates an extensive and on-going community-based protest campaign (dating back almost 20 years) that has generated the longest standing 24-hour community picket in Australia.

The USA Baseball Collegiate National Team beat Japan 6-3 in Sunday's championship game of the Haarlem-Honkbal Week, giving Team USA its fourth Honkbal title since 2000.
Team USA went 7-1 in the Netherlands, rallying for seven straight wins after losing its Honkbal opener. The Americans are now 29-5 all-time in the tournament, having previously won the title in 2000, 2002 and 2008.
Alex Bregman (Louisiana State) won the Honkbal Week Most Valuable Player award after hitting .367 with six stolen bases and playing strong infield defense in the tournament. Christin Stewart (Tennessee) led Team USA with a .455/.538/.591 slash line in Haarlem to win the event's "Best Hitter" award. Clemson's Chris Okey was named "Carl Angelo Most Popular Player."
Team USA's pitching was dominant in the tournament, posting a 0.62 staff ERA, as the Americans outscored their opponents 34-6 in seven games. Carson Fulmer (Vanderbilt) and James Kaprielian (UCLA) started two games apiece, working 11 innings apiece without allowing an earned run. Kyle Funkhouser (Louisville) also started two games, including the championship game against Japan, when he allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings. Tyler Jay (Illinois) followed with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win in the title game. Okey went 2-for-3 with two RBIs to lead USA's 10-hit attack in the finale. Nick Banks (Texas A&M) hit a two-run single to highlight Team USA's three-run fourth inning, giving the Americans a commanding 4-0 lead they would never relinquish.
Japan beat Team USA 1-0 to start the week, but the Americans bounced back to beat the Japanese 6-0 later in the event, then won the third meeting between the teams Sunday. Team USA also won the best-of-three Friendship Series against Japan in North Carolina before both teams headed to the Netherlands. Team USA is now 18-3-2 overall on the summer, with a five-game series in Cuba still to come starting Wednesday.
"These guys are really proud to wear the USA Baseball uniform, and I am really excited that we were able to win here at Honkbal week," Team USA head coach Dave Van Horn (Arkansas) said in a release. "It was important for us to play well, and I thought we played extremely hard today. For us to come back to win this tournament after losing the first game like we did, 1-0, was really something special.
"We have a tremendous coaching staff and a great group of guys that has really come together as a team in a quick period. We felt that if we could get this team to play up to its potential we would have a shot to win this tournament, and that is what happened."

...? whats a turbo?
K-sport coil-overs* ADVAN RGII's* HKS TI-CARBON*SPEC-C ROOF VENT* TI-TEK DOWN/UP PIPE* http://www.metamorfasis.com
please anyone know? I really wanna get this for my car
So i bought a Turbosmart Dual-Port BoV from a local subaru dealership. Its new, got it for about $275. I know, i've been warned about BoVs before, but the people at the dealership assured me that it was safe to have on the car. The car is an 06 wrx. However, after having it on the car for about a week, i can smell some boost through the vent. Also, can hear the turbo spooling down after i shift a lot louder now. Is this normal? Should i just take this thing off and back to the dealer?
What does boost smell like?Originally Posted by Poekin
Wasted moneyOriginally Posted by Trainrex
well this was helpful
step #1 don't listen to sales people.
haha. if you like the sound keep it... its your car. yes, you will suffer driveability issues and get a rich surge followed by a lean surge between shifts.Originally Posted by Trainrex
most on here will say no to a open atmosphere bov.
but, anyone on clubwrx.net can only give you suggestions. i have a turboxs type h-rfl. i am goining to remove it tommorow for my stock one, then maybe by this weekend i might get a turbosmart adjustable bov. not sure yet... does anyone have this one or will i get mocked...
07 white STi in CT
mine is adjustable. It seems to be working fine. I was just curious as to the smell coming through the vent and the sound of the turbo spooling down being more evident. When i said the smell smelled like boost, i meant it smelled as though the air being blowed off into the atmosphere was being leaked through the vent and as to whether or not this was normal. Of course i did a search on that, and couldnt find anything and i asked. Some people just like to pop up and say ZOMG USE THE SEARCH for some reason.
this has thread of the year potential written all over it.
How would a BOV leack into your A/C?

Hey guys...when I turn my AC and Radio off, I can hear my Turbo Spooling...I was just curious if that noise gos away when I turn my AC and Radio on, or if I just cant hear it.
Hawk-Eye Alliance #555 | Retired Blobeye Syndicate

As for the whole A/C vents thing...I donno what the heck boost smells like =/

Hi and welcome
Did a Google search for a message board pertaining to firearms and so here I am.
I'm here to learn about responsible gun ownership.
I've never owned a gun before but I figure it's time to stop procrastinating.
I'd like to learn all I can about effective and reliable firearms, home defense, gun safety, conceal and carry, and legal steps I need to take to own a gun in Florida.
I'm also interested in maybe visiting a firing range with my wife and son(12 yrs old).
Anyway, hello again.

Man on the Street Interview No. 356: "My dad bought a 1969 Camaro convertible, but he sold it the same year. He told me later: 'I was thinking, the kids are too young and the car is too fast. It was the biggest mistake I ever made.' I promised him I'd buy him one of these the day it comes out."
