High-efficiency neutron imaging detector features new oblique designMarch 31, 2013 6:53 pm | News | Comments
To increase the neutron detection efficiency of bulk-micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GAseous Structure) neutron detectors, researchers from China and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville have proposed three new types of thin-film converters: micro-channel, parallel micro-pillar, and oblique micro-pillar 2D array. When validated using Monte Carlo simulations, the latter design showed a threefold increase in neutron detection efficiencies.
Engineers enable bulk silicon to emit visible light for the first timeMarch 27, 2013 2:56 pm | News | Comments
Certain semiconductors, when imparted with energy, in turn emit light; they directly produce photons, instead of producing heat. This phenomenon is commonplace and used in light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. Research from the University of Pennsylvania has enabled "bulk" silicon to emit broad-spectrum, visible light for the first time, opening the possibility of using the element in devices that have both electronic and photonic components.
Atomic layer etch analysis accelerates green chemistriesMarch 26, 2013 8:28 am | News | Comments
Researchers sponsored by Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) have developed a modeling process designed to simulate atomic-level etching with chemicals that are effective alternatives to widely used perfluorocarbon (PFC) gases. The novel approach will identify and evaluate green plasma chemistries for processing emerging memory/logic devices and through-silicon-via (TSV)-enabled technologies for the semiconductor industry.
Paint-on plastic electronicsMarch 25, 2013 7:51 am | News | Comments
Semiconducting polymers are an unruly bunch, but University of Michigan engineers have developed a new method for getting them in line that could pave the way for cheaper, greener, "paint-on" plastic electronics.
Researchers improve laser potential of MEH-PPV polymerMarch 18, 2013 1:45 pm | News | Comments
MEH-PPV is a low-cost polymer that can be integrated with silicon chips, and researchers have sought to use it to convert electricity into laser light for use in photonic devices. However, attempts to do this have failed because the amount of electricity needed to generate laser light in MEH-PPV was so high that it caused the material to degrade. Researchers have recently come up with a low-cost way to enhance MEH-PPV's ability to confine light, protecting the material.
MIT researchers develop solar-to-fuel roadmap for crystalline siliconMarch 5, 2013 11:12 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Bringing the concept of an "artificial leaf" closer to reality, a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has published a detailed analysis of all the factors that could limit the efficiency of such a system. The new analysis lays out a roadmap for a research program to improve the efficiency of these systems, and could quickly lead to the production of a practical, inexpensive and commercially viable prototype.
Connecting the quantum dotsFebruary 26, 2013 12:51 pm | News | Comments
Recent research offers a new spin on using nanoscale semiconductor structures to build faster computers and electronics. Literally. Researchers have revealed a new method that better preserves the units necessary to power lightning-fast electronics, known as qubits. Hole spins, rather than electron spins, can keep quantum bits in the same physical state up to 10 times longer than before, the report finds.
Scientists develop multi-color LEDs without heavy metalsFebruary 22, 2013 8:57 am | News | Comments
Silicon dominates in microelectronics and photovoltaics industry, but has been considered unsuitable for light-emitting diodes for a long time. At the nanoscale, however, its properties change. Scientists in Germany and Canada have now succeeded in manufacturing silicon-based light-emitting diodes (SiLEDs) using silicon nanocrystals a few nanometers in size. They are free of heavy metals and can emit light in various colors.
Researchers create semiconductor "nano-shish-kebabs"February 19, 2013 3:16 pm | News | Comments
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new type of nanoscale structure that resembles a "nano-shish-kebab," consisting of multiple 2D nanosheets that appear to be impaled upon a 1D nanowire. However, the nanowire and nanosheets are actually a single, 3D structure consisting of a seamless series of germanium sulfide (GeS) crystals. The structure holds promise for use in the creation of new, 3D technologies.
Production process doubles speed, efficiency of flexible electronicsFebruary 19, 2013 10:44 am | News | Comments
Stretched-out clothing might not be a great practice for laundry day, but in the case of microprocessor manufacture, stretching out the atomic structure of the silicon in the critical components of a device can be a good way to increase a processor's performance.
Researchers demonstrate quantum dots that assemble themselvesFebruary 11, 2013 10:08 am | News | Comments
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and other labs have demonstrated a process whereby quantum dots can self-assemble at the apex of a gallium arsenide-aluminum gallium arsenide core-shell nanowire interface. This activity at optimal locations in nanowires could improve solar cells, quantum computing, and lighting devices.
With voltage, "smart" oxide flips from open to closedFebruary 8, 2013 11:48 am | News | Comments
Researchers have tried for decades to replicate the effects of transistors in transition metal oxides by using a voltage to convert the material from an insulator to a metal, but the induced change only occurs within a few atomic layers of the surface. Recently, however, scientists in Japan have discovered that applying a voltage to a vanadium dioxide film several tens of nanometers thick converts the entire film from an insulator to a metal.
Physicists show that organic semiconductors withstand sharp bendsFebruary 5, 2013 11:41 am | News | Comments
Organic semiconductors hold promise for making low-cost flexible electronics—if they can perform in spite of frequent flexing and sharp bending. Scientists have recently demonstrated extremely flexible organic semiconductors that withstood multiple bending cycles in which the devices were rolled to a radius as small as 200 μm. The scientists worked with numerous crystalline devices they made and found no degradation in their performance.
Self-assembling silica microwires may enable integrated optical devicesJanuary 23, 2013 10:23 am | News | Comments
Silica microwires are the tiny and as-yet underutilized cousins of optical fibers. If precisely manufactured, however, these hair-like slivers of silica could enable applications and technology not currently possible with comparatively bulky optical fiber. By carefully controlling the shape of water droplets with an ultraviolet laser, a team of researchers from Australia and France has found a way to coax silica nanoparticles to self-assemble into much more highly uniform silica wires.
World's most complex 2D laser beamsteering array demonstratedJanuary 17, 2013 5:09 pm | News | Comments
Existing optical beamsteering assemblies for technologies like LADAR, which scans a field of view with a laser to determine distance, are typically mechnical, bulky, slow, and inaccurate. In an effort to design a better, scalable technology, DARPA researchers have recently demonstrated the most complex optical phased array ever built onto a 2D chip.
Researchers develop integrated dual-mode active and passive infrared cameraJanuary 16, 2013 1:14 pm | News | Comments
High-performance infrared cameras are usual for night-vision goggles and are usually either active, which use invisible infrared sources, or passive, which detect thermal radiation without the need for illumination. Integrating both modes has proven challenging, but researchers at Northwestern University have done by using advanced type-II superlattice materials.

Researchers create flexible, low-voltage circuits using nanocrystalsNovember 26, 2012 2:40 pm | News | Comments
Electronic circuits are typically integrated in rigid silicon wafers, but flexibility opens up a wide range of applications. In a world where electronics are becoming more pervasive, flexibility is a highly desirable trait, but finding materials with the right mix of performance and manufacturing cost remains a challenge. Now a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania has shown that nanocrystals of the semiconductor cadmium selenide can be "printed" or "coated" on flexible plastics to form high-performance electronics.

Lindsay Lohan seems to be back to her old partying ways. Just hours after her break-up with Samantha Ronson was announced, Lindsay decided to paint the town red.
Lilo hit up new hotspot h.wood Monday night with friends and her #1 party pal, mom Dina Lohan. According to eyewitnesses, Lindsay let off some steam by drinking Belvedere vodka.
She tried to shield it from other partygoers, turning away from them as she chug-a-lugged!
Radar reports: "Lindsay then mixed diet soda and vodka and downed several as the night progressed. La Lohan started the evening at h.wood sitting on a couch and texting. Suddenly she began crying. She finally put down her phone and that's when the partying began."
Other onlookers told Radar that Lindsay looked even skinnier than usual, and kept saying out loud that she "didn't understand what her problem was."
Well, we definitely saw this coming! And we're sure this isn't the first time Lindsay has dipped into the booze. It was just easier to hide behind the DJ booth!

Fresh off of being released from a Boston hospital on Friday, Patrice Bergeron is giving Bruins fans even more good news.According to Darren Dreger of TSN, the Bruins and Bergeron are "real close" to agreeing to an extension that would keep the center in Boston for the remainder of his NHL career.During SCup @Real_ESPNLeBrun reported the Bruins working on 8 year ext for Bergeron. Sounds like it's getting real close.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 28, 2013The report Dreger is referring to comes from back on June 14, in which LeBrun stated that the B's were looking to resign Bergeron to an eight-year extension after the season ended. Well, now that the season has ended, word has resurfaced and nothing has changed.This is obviously great news for Bruins fans, as Patrice Bergeron would undoubtedly receive a truck load of offers from teams if he hit the open market. As was the case back in 2010, the Bruins brass wants to lock-up Bergeron before he can test free agency and potentiall...

I see memes on MLB all the time about how great we are, yet I never see any meme about what we DO that makes us so good. Why don't we see any memes about the community's charity work instead of more self-praise?

Regardless of case-by-case opinions, the general consensus was obvious: Shows sold out all over the nation, and Nashville was one of them. Tickets vanished almost instantly, leaving many wide-eyed and eager fans (myself included) excluded from the 1,000-ish inner circle allowed through Cannery's doors that fateful night. But now, Godspeed is giving us laggards a second chance.
Extending their reunion tour into the month of October, GY!BE added 13 more dates over the course of two weeks. The outfit's nightly routine makes its way to Cannery on Oct. 12 with their concept-heavy, storytelling instrumentation.
Although my fingers are crossed for hearing the 28 Days Later-inspiring F#A#∞ in its entirety, their recent Coachella show featured highlights from Yanqui UXO, Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven and a couple non-album pieces. So while they may not offer a night of post-apocalyptica-made-fun, anyone interested should still pick up tickets as soon as they become available, because they won't last long.
I would tell you to check out their site for more information, but the band's enigmatic disposition makes for a serious logistical nightmare. Tickets go on sale at 10am this coming Wednesday, May 9th, and can be purchased here.

Guest Post: Cultivating the Love of Gardening
After surviving not one, but two polar vortices last month, I'm
running away going to be away from the blog for the coming week to somewhere more suitable for human habitation to replenish my vitamin D reserves for the rest of the winter. Not to leave you hanging, I've asked my good friend at Spy Garden to fill today! I love her adventurous approach to gardening (it's what she'd do during a zombie apocalypse!), and the way she cultivates a love of gardening in her children matches up perfectly with this week's 12 Weeks of Garden Inspiration theme. After you've read her awesome post here, be sure to check out her blog, too!
I am so pleased Maria asked me to write a guest post for Sweet Domesticity and share some tips on gardening with children. Even if you don't have kids, taking a "child-like" approach to gardening is great for beginners. Even a gardener with a lot of experience can gain a new perspective when gardening from a kid's point of view.
Here's a picture of my tiny gardener destroying some marigolds learning about plants:
It would first appear she has a black thumb. After all, she is breaking plants apart and tearing the leaves to pieces. However, I would argue she has more gardening experience and understanding than most because she knows the number one most important thing about gardening. Here it is (along with a couple of other tips):
Don't be afraid of killing plants. For each of the plants thriving in Spy Garden, two (or maybe more) are looking down from plant heaven. Cutworms have eaten my cauliflower plants, flea beetles have gnawed up my eggplants. All the marigolds planted in two large planters have been destroyed by my two year old "Babyzilla." I tried growing three different varieties of eggplants in 2013: started the seedlings indoors in February, with nary an eggplant in sight by October. Does this mean I will never try growing cauliflower or eggplants again? No!
Don't get too frustrated when you kill plants. And if you are gardening with kids, don't get mad at them when they (perhaps more swiftly) kill your plants. Encourage them to pick the red tomatoes (vs. the green ones) and to be gentle in the garden. But, if they rip a bean plant out of the ground, let it go. I mean, I wouldn't encourage pure destruction, but a broken stem or some torn leaves are small sacrifices in cultivating (pun intended) a love of plants.
"Look Mommy, here's one that's not ripe!"
No matter how much you learn about gardening (from books, online articles, etc.) the bulk of the learning must take place in the actual garden. Every plot of soil and site is different and a plant that will thrive in one garden, may do poorly in another. Even in the same town! Every season is also different, so if a particular variety doesn't do well one year, don't be afraid to try it again. Don't focus too much on searching for "how to" advice on gardening, and just experiment.
Even growing just a few plants provides valuable lessons for children of all ages.
Questions like: How long does it take from seed to plate? What types of animals live in the dirt? What do birds (or deer!) like to eat? All will naturally be investigated when you're in the garden. Even when you are not actively "teaching," kids will observe thousands of aspects of your local ecosystem and truly learn about "real" food. Not to mention that, in my experience, kids are about 300 times more likely to be adventurous eaters when they have a hand in growing it.
"Mmmm! Kale flowers!"
The same lessons the kids are learning, you learn right along with them. Often kids have insights and observations they share with you while you are together in the garden that create really special moments where you gain a deeper perspective of gardening (and life!)
Grow the things that you can't kill. Asparagus and strawberries are very low maintenance perennials. Mint, catnip, thyme (and most herbs) are great choices. Even if you don't use the herbs you grow (and I definitely confess on this point that I don't harvest and use my herbs nearly as much as I should) having something green and thriving in your garden will get you more excited about gardening.
Most kids love mint. So it's not about whether or not you really like mint in cooking. Just grow mint, because it will grow. It is always one of the first green things in our garden and therefore a staple snack in early spring garden walks with the kids.
"Colorful as…
… Candy!"
In addition to growing "things you can't kill" also try growing lots of different things (as much as you have room for). Squash may be devoured by squash bugs one year that your tomatoes are beefy and prolific. Beans may be doing awesome when your lettuce is burnt to a crisp. Even though starting plants from seeds is a bit more work, it is a LOT cheaper, and if you are following rule #1, you don't want your sacrifices to be expensive exotic specimens from a designer nursery. Plus with seeds you get a ton more plants (and because of the law of attrition (#1!) this is a great thing! I always encourage the kids to choose the things we grow.
Now in February, I asked my family to name their favorite varieties looking back on the 2013 season:
My eight year old son said, "lemon cucumbers".
My husband (who is definitely a child at heart) said "cantelopes" (he's referring to "Delice de la Table")
And I will go ahead and speak for our two and a half year old and say "Yellow Wonder Wild Strawberries" since…
She is still checking the plants through the winter for fruit! A few more months to go!
My favorite were the "Violet de Provence artichokes" The spy gobbled down the prepared hearts (without ANY salt/pepper/lemon/etc: they were delectable!) But the ones that we left to "go to flower" were so beautiful and striking and added a lot of whimsy and magic to the garden, which makes it inviting to children.
Nasturtiums are also a great choice for kids because the flowers and leaves are edible. And on that point, I try and ONLY have edibles in the garden (since the baby grew accustomed to sampling EVERYTHING, I wanted to make sure there was nothing poisonous in the garden (i.e. moonflowers, morning glories).
Take "Garden Walks". There are often several weeks that go by where I do absolutely NOTHING in the garden. But that doesn't mean I'm not in the garden frequently. We take family "garden walks" just about every day, in all seasons. This will help you to get to know the plants you are growing and get your kids into the habit of being in and LOOKING closely at the different aspects of the garden. Sure there are a few days where gardening is a bit more labor intensive (30 minutes of digging here, an hour of planting or weeding there) but I would say that I learn the most in the observations we make on the frequent "garden walks."
Some sights from our garden walks:
Planning for the spring garden starts now! So if you've ever toyed with the idea of growing something but convinced yourself you have a black thumb, just remember rule number one!

2003 Volkswagen Jetta Q&A
2003 Volkswagen Jetta Question: Is it the alternator or a bad ground?
My 2003 Jetta has these intermittent electrical gremlins where the interior lights (dash,doors,radio,etc.) flicker. When I purchased her back in May 2009, the alternator had to be replaced twice! When I took her back in for the flickering about 2 months later, the dealer claims they checked the charging systems, ground wires and everything checked ok. He did mention that they didn't check the one behind the dash, because it's deep! I bet that's the one. Anyways, it doesn't happen all the time, but I do notice that if I pop in a CD sometimes, the flickering starts and the car surges. The car has not shut down on me and I have driven long distances. So I'm not sure if it's the alternator or a bad ground. Maybe a bad regulator? If it's a bad ground, how can it be found? Is it dangerous? Any expert advice on this is appreciated. I'll probably take it to another mechanic and see what they have to say. - mellybear

Eighty-four prenatally depressed women were randomly assigned to yoga, massage therapy or standard prenatal care control groups to determine the relative effects of yoga and massage therapy on prenatal depression and neonatal outcomes. Following 12 weeks of twice weekly yoga and massage sessions (20 minutes each) both therapy groups versus the control group had a greater decrease on depression, anxiety and back and leg pain scales and a greater increase on a relationship scale. In addition, the yoga and massage therapy groups did not differ on neonatal outcomes including gestational age and birthweight, and those groups, in turn, had greater gestational age and birthweight than the control group.
Depression is prevalent during pregnancy, affecting 10% to 49% of women (Frisch & Riecher-Rossler, 2010; Orr, Blazer & James, 2006). Depressed women are more likely to deliver prematurely (Li, Liu, & Odouli, 2009; Mancuso, Schetter, Rini, Roesch & Hobel, 2004), and their neonates are more likely to have low birthweight (<2500 grams) (Field, Diego, Dieter, Hernandez-Reif, Schanberg, Kuhn et al., 2004; Grote, Bridge, Gavin, Melville, Iyengar, & Katon, 2010), with low birthweight being one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in the U.S. (MacDorman & Mathews, 2009; National Center for Health Statistics, 2006). As many as 20% of low birthweight infants experience fetal growth retardation, which continues across the first year of life (Rahman, Iqbal, Bunn, Lovel, Harrington, 2003; Westerberg, Henriksen, Ellingvag, Veierod, Juliusson, Nakstad et al., 2010). Significant morbidity and long-term health consequences associated with preterm birth and low birthweight highlight the need for research on the mechanisms underlying preterm birth and low birthweight. Studies are also needed on interventions for the management of at-risk pregnancies like prenatal depression (National Center for Health Statistics, 2006; Wen, Smith, Yang & Walk, 2004).
In three studies we have shown that massage therapy reduces prenatal depression and prematurity rates (Field, Hernandez-Reif, Hart, Theakston, Schanberg, Kuhn, & Burman, 1999; Field, Diego, Hernandez-Reif, Schanberg, & Kuhn, 2004; Field, Diego, Hernandez-Reif, Deeds, & Figueiredo, 2009). In the first study, pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive massage therapy or relaxation therapy for 5 weeks during the last trimester of pregnancy (Field et al., 1999). The therapies consisted of 20-minute sessions twice a week. Both groups reported lower anxiety levels after the first session and less leg pain after the first and last session. Only the massage therapy group, however, reported reduced anxiety, depression and back pain as well as better sleep by the last day of the study. The prematurity rate was significantly lower in the massage therapy group versus the relaxation control group (0% versus 17%).
In the second study, pregnant women who were depressed received a 20-minute massage at home from their significant other twice per week from 20 weeks to 32 weeks gestation (Field et al., 2004). The prenatal effects were consistent with those of the pregnancy massage for non-depressed women in the study just summarized (Field et al., 1999). Over the course of the study, the massage therapy group experienced fewer symptoms of depression, and they had lower urinary cortisol levels compared to the relaxation and standard care control groups. The massage therapy group also had fewer obstetric and postnatal complications including a lower prematurity rate (Field et al., 1999).
In the third study, pregnant women diagnosed with major depression were given 12 weeks of twice per week massage therapy by their significant other or only standard prenatal care as a control group (Field et al., 2009). The massage therapy group women versus the control group women not only had reduced depression by the end of the therapy period, but they also had reduced depression and cortisol levels during the postpartum period. Their newborns were also less likely to be born prematurely and low birthweight, and they had lower cortisol levels and performed better on the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment habituation, orientation and motor scales (Field, et al., 2009).
Yoga has also been noted to decrease prematurity. In a prenatal yoga study, pregnant women were assigned to a yoga group or a walking group (Narendran, Nagarathna, Narendran, Gunasheela, & Nagendra, 2005). The yoga group practiced physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation from 20 weeks until delivery. More babies were born with birthweight greater than 2500 grams in the yoga group, and the incidence of preterm labor was significantly lower in the yoga group. Unfortunately, three different types of activities (postures, breathing exercises and meditation) were combined in this study, and, thus, the effects were confounded.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of massage therapy, yoga postures and standard prenatal care groups of depressed pregnant women from the same clinic population. The hypothesis for this study was that yoga, by virtue of being a form of self-massage (rubbing limbs together and against the floor) (Field, 2011), was expected to have similar effects as massage on the stress measures (depression and anxiety), pain measures (leg and lower back) and neonatal outcome measures (gestational age and birthweight) assessed in this study.
Two hundred eight women were screened for depression on the CES-D during their second trimester between 18 and 22 weeks at two medical school prenatal ultrasound clinics. After refusals (20%) and attrition (25%), the final sample comprised 84 depressed pregnant women. Eligibility criteria were as follows: 1) age greater than 18 years, 2) singleton pregnancy, 3) uncomplicated pregnancy, and 4) a diagnosis of depression based on the SCID (Structured Clinical Interview for Depression). Exclusion criteria included: 1) medical illness (diabetes, HIV); 2) 40 years or older; 3) other psychiatric condition (e.g., bipolar disorder); and 4) self-reported drug use or medications that might confound the depression effects. Power analyses were based on previous massage therapy studies suggesting that a sample size of 12 per group would be required to achieve 80% power with a significance level of .05.
The women averaged 26.6 years of age, were low socioeconomic status M = 4.5 on the Hollingshead SES Index), distributed approximately 38% Hispanic, 40% African-American, and 12% Non-Hispanic White, and 71% had a partner. Fifty percent of the infants were female. The three groups did not differ on these demographic variables.
Participants were recruited at their first ultrasound assessment (M=20 weeks gestation). Following informed consent, a Research Associate screened the women for depression using the CES-D. The women were then scheduled for an assessment within that week. At the first assessment, a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Diagnoses (SCID) was conducted to determine a clinical diagnosis for depression. As in our past studies, the women were expected to be chronically depressed or at least depressed from the onset of pregnancy. The women were then randomly assigned to a yoga, massage therapy or standard prenatal care control group. All three groups received the same prenatal care.
The yoga and massage sessions began after group assignment at approximately 20 weeks gestation and continued for 12 weeks until 32 weeks gestation when the second assessment was made. For the yoga sessions, a trained yoga instructor provided a 20-minute yoga routine that was designed especially for second and third trimester pregnant women with consultation from our OB/GYN collaborator (see Appendix A for routine). The yoga groups included approximately 8 women at each session. The massages were conducted by licensed massage therapists who massaged the women for 10 minutes lying on each side (total session= 20 minutes) on the head, back, legs and arms (see Appendix B for routine).
In addition to the Structured Clinical Inventory for DSM IV Diagnosis (SCID), the mothers were given the following questionnaires at the prenatal assessments: 1) Sociodemograhic/Social Support Questionnaire; 2) Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D); 3) State Anxiety Inventory (STAI); 4) State Anger Inventory (STAXI); and 5) Relationship Questionnaire. All assessments were conducted by the trained research associates who were blind to the study's hypotheses and to the group assignment.
The Sociodemographic/Social Support Questionnaire is comprised of items concerning age, education, occupation, income, marital status, number of children in the family, ethnicity and social support. Other questions include the use of any drugs, medications (including antidepressants and steroids) and therapies.
This 20-item scale was included to assess symptoms of depression and was the initial screening for depression given during the first prenatal clinic ultrasound visit. The woman was asked to report on her feelings during the preceding week. The scale has adequate test/retest reliability (.60 over several weeks), internal consistency (.80-.90) and concurrent validity (Wells, Klerman & Deykin, 1987). Test-retest reliability over a one-month period on this sample was .79, suggesting some short-term stability of depressive symptoms. A score of 16 on the CES-D is considered the cutpoint for depression (Radloff, 1991). This scale was included as a screening measure for depression and as a primary outcome variable for assessing the effects of yoga and massage therapy.
All women in the study were administered the SCID-I at the first prenatal visit (M=20 weeks gestation) (Non-patient edition: research version) to determine depression diagnoses and to screen out other disorders including anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The majority (95%) of the depressed pregnant women were not taking anti-depressants and were not in psychotherapy. Most women diagnosed as depressed were chronically depressed across pregnancy and met criteria for dysthymia or major depressive disorder. The SCID was administered by the research associates following training and with continuing supervision by a clinical psychologist.
This scale was included because of the comorbidity of depression and anxiety and its decrease following massage therapy. The State Anxiety Inventory is comprised of 20 items and is summarized by a score ranging from 20 to 90 and assesses how the individual feels in terms of severity ("not at all" to "very much so"). Characteristic items include "I feel nervous" and "I feel calm." Research has demonstrated that the State Anxiety Inventory has adequate concurrent validity and internal consistency (r=.83).
This is a 10-item inventory that assesses general feelings of anger based on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (almost never) to 4 (almost always) and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Typical questions include "I am quick tempered" and "I fly off the handle". Psychometric properties have been established for the STAXI on diverse ethnic groups. Test-retest reliability for this scale is 0.87. Anger was assessed because anger is often co-morbid with depression and has negative effects on fetal development and neonatal outcome (Field, Diego, Hernandez-Reif, et al, 2003).
The questionnaire is comprised of 12 items on a 4-point Likert scale and is focused on positive and negative aspects of spouse/partner relationships. The positive dimensions include a sense of support and care, as well as satisfaction, closeness and joint interests and activities, and the negative dimensions include, for example, anxiety, irritability and criticisms that have been associated with undesirable outcomes. Data for this measure were available for 95% of the sample (95% of the women being in relationships with a spouse or partner).
Birth outcome measures included gestational age at delivery and birthweight. Gestational age was determined by best obstetric estimate with a combination of last menstrual period and early uterine size and was confirmed by obstetric ultrasonographic biometry. In cases in which there was a discrepancy between last menstrual period, clinical examination and ultrasonographic biometry by more than the margin of error of ultrasonography for gestational age, the estimate of gestational age was revised according to the results of ultrasonographic biometry.
Repeated measures by group ANOVAS were conducted because group by time interaction effects were expected, i.e. the two intervention groups (the massage group and the yoga group) were expected to have significantly greater reductions in depression, anxiety and pain and more optimal neonatal outcomes than the standard prenatal care group by time 2 or the end of the study. As can be seen in Table 1, the repeated measures by group ANOVAS yielded group by time interaction effects for all of the variables, suggesting significantly greater improvement for both the yoga group and the massage therapy group but not for the control group as follows: 1) decreased depression scores (F= 82.40, p<.001); 2) decreased anxiety scores (F= 26.23, p< .001); 3) decreased anger scores (F= 14.59, p<.001); 4) decreased back pain scores (F= 39.06, p<.001); 5) decreased leg pain scores (F= 19.77, p>.001); and 6) increased relationships scores (F= 7.88, p<.001). As can be seen in table 2, between group ANOVAS revealed significantly better outcomes for the yoga group and the massage therapy group versus the standard prenatal care control group suggesting: 1) greater gestational age (F= 18.83, p<.005); and 2) greater birthweight (F= 31.52, p<.001) for the yoga group and the massage therapy group.
The similar effects of yoga and massage therapy on prenatally depressed women are perhaps not surprising in light of the separate literatures on yoga and massage therapy, suggesting that they both lower depression and anxiety. And because massage therapy lowers back and leg pain during pregnancy (Field et al, 2004) and yoga can be considered a form of self-massage (Field, 2011), yoga might also be expected to lower back and leg pain during pregnancy.
Yoga has reportedly decreased depression (Brown & Gerbarg, 2005; Uebelacker, Tremont, Epstein-Lubow, Gaudiano, Grillette, Kalibatseva, et al, 2010), although it had not yet been shown to reduce prenatal depression until the current study. Although potential underlying mechanisms for these effects were not studied in this research, decreased depression may have contributed to decreased cortisol and, in turn, decreased prematurity. Inasmuch as cortisol and increased intrauterine artery resistance contribute to prematurity, a reduction of cortisol and intrauterine artery resistance could lead to increased gestational age (Field et al, 2004; Narendran et al, 2005). Yoga has been noted to decrease cortisol levels (Kamei, Toriumi, Kimura, Ohno, Kumano, & Kimura, 2000; West, Otte, Geher, Johnson, & Mohr, 2004), but not in prenatal depression studies, and yoga has led to decreased intratuterine artery resistance in at least one study (Narendran et al., 2005). Future research is needed on the assessment of all of these variables in a path analysis model on the same sample.
These data highlight the benefits of these cost-effective therapies for prenatally depressed women and their offspring. Inasmuch as depressed pregnant women are often reluctant to use antidepressants because of their potential side effects (Field, 2010; Van Shaick et al., 2004), massage and yoga may be cost-effective alternatives for the treatment of depression during pregnancy (Gaudiano & Epstein-Lubow, 2007), most especially if they can decrease prematurity and low birthweight, as they did in this study.

Not sure what a shorter residence visa will mean to you? Neither do we. But we're thinking it's just the tip of the iceberg.
September 26, 2011 4:07 by shafeer
An article in Gulf News today tried its best to outline the conditions surrounding how individuals are given two-year visas and three-year visas. After reading and re-reading the article a number of times, Kipp was none the wiser.
But here's what we know so far:
– The two-year residence visa is only for private sector workers, who have had the term of their labour card reduced.
– If you work for a private company and your labour card is issued by the Ministry of Labour then you will have a two-year visa.
– All other expatriates who have their labour permits and residency visas issued only from the Ministry of Interior for Naturalisation, Residency and Borders will have a three-year visa.
– Family members will have the same visa duration as their sponsor.
Whether or not this affects the freezone areas is still a gray area. We've had reports where employees from the same company have renewed their visas at the same time and got different time allowances.
Nothing is finalised as the government is still looking at "significant amendments" to the existing residency laws and foreign affairs.
As a ripple effect, this will mean more HR costs for companies now having to renew visas in a shorter period. But on a larger scale, this will mean shorter tenures for expatriates. It will also mean a larger rate of employee turnover and (could it be?) a higher chance for nationals to fill in private sector spaces in the long-term (if they actually want to, as recent researches have said otherwise).
Whatever it is, there is a definite feeling that this is just the tip of the foreign affairs/expatriate purge iceberg. There. We said it.

Special to The Community NewsFrom Weatherford College
Five actors will play 39 characters in Mark Brown's comedy adventure adaptation of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days," at the Alkek Fine Arts Center on the Weatherford College campus Feb. 21-23. Curtain rises at 7:30 p.m. each evening. Admission is free.
Directed by Nancy McVean and produced by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois, the show is WC's entry in the annual Texas Community College Theatre Festival, which will be held at Lone Star College in Tomball, Texas, later this month.
Based on French author Jules Verne's 1873 novel, the play follows the journey of Phileas Fogg around the world as he tries to beat the clock to win a wager that he can make the trip in 80 days - a huge feat in pre-airplane days.
McVean said the fast-paced production is a physically exhausting play to act in, with no moments to rest.
"The five actors have to be nimble as well as gifted with comic timing, for personality and costume changes come with riotous, breathtaking rapidity. Hats, beards, coats, turbans, genders and accents ricochet around the stage as each character does his turn, then tears off to assume another role, sometimes only for a matter of seconds."
Hello, Dolly! Cast
The musical Hello, Dolly! will be performed at 7:30 p.m. from Thursday, Nov. 15 through Saturday, Nov. 17 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18 at the Weatherford College Alkek Fine Arts Center. Hello, Dolly! Is the enchanting story of Dolly Levi, a meddlesome widow who seeks to "matchmake" several couples and even herself in New York City in the 1890's.
Directed by Nancy McVean with technical direction by Joseph Nicokowski, Dolly is portrayed by Lana Robinson, with other major characters: Ernestina, Lisa Cockerell; Ambrose Kemper, Dwayne Holmes, and Duncan Alexander as Horace Vandergelder. Music and lyrics are by Jerry Herman and the book by Michael Stewart. Based on the play The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder. Property of Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc.
